May the Lord continue to be with you all. Jolene
I learned about the Barnett family through Elizabeth Smith's blog. Elizabeth was an angel to our family just a few short months ago when our third son Gavin passed away. May God bring you peace as you have to say goodbye to baby Mac. I am so very sorry for your profound loss. I will continue to pray for the Barnett family.

Dear Claire and Jeff,
We love you guys. I know God is holding Mac tightly in his arms and you are holding him so tightly in your hearts. You are all in our prayers as our hearts are breaking for you today. I pray we can carry some of your grief for you and that you can feel the love that we and so many friends, family, and strangers around the country are pouring out to you. Mac is so lucky to have you as his parents. He got more love in the months you carried him and in the moments you held him than some children get in a lifetime. We will continue to pray for you, Mac, Lydie and the rest of your family as you celebrate Mac's memory and mourn your loss. Love, Rachael, Demetri, Emma, Andrew, and Charlie Datch
Claire and Jeff, we are so sorry for your loss. But we are so happy you had even a short time with Mac. You and your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers - especially Mac in Heaven.

Baby Mac surely felt blessed to be surrounded by so much love.
Peace be with you Claire and Jeff.
I can sense just how Mac was embraced with such celebration and love on this side of Heaven and to think upon his arrival in Heaven the celebration will be only magnified by the Father that created him.

Kathie - Thank you for creating this blog. Carrie forwarded it to me on Monday night and this is the first time I have been able to check it today, so I just learned of Mac's birth and passing all at once and I am just overwhelmed with sadness.
Claire and Jeff - I'm so sorry for your loss. I greatly admire you for your strength during your pregnancy and especially today. The moments you were able to hold Mac while he was alive must be so sacred to you. I'm so thankful you had that time. You are in my prayers for a peaceful recovery with precious memories of baby Mac.
Love,
Julie (Ganaway) Blanchard
We send our thoughts and prayers to you today.
Melissa and Pat Wilson
Through tears Becca and I have been reading this and just want to let you know that we are thinking and praying for you. You must be special people for God to allow this to happen to you. When I think of you all Claire and Jeff, I think of Job and of Abraham (when he thought he had to sacrifice Issac) and the faith they had in their Lord. You all are modern day models of how our faith should be. Thank you for being such magnificant examples for us all.
God bless little baby Mac and all of you. We are so very sorry for your loss. MaryScott & Jimmy Vaughn
I am praying for your family during this extremely difficult time. Claire, you are an incredibly strong woman with an amazing spirit. You are such an inspiration to so many people. I pray that you and Jeff can feel God's loving arms around you today and that He will give you the strength and guidance you need in the days ahead.
Penny Soles
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Claire and Jeff.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet son Mac. I know you all made lifetime memories during the precious time you were able to spend with Mac before the good Lord called him home. We will never understand the whys of such great sadness and this great trial. I pray that you feel the comforting arms and peace of the Lord wrapped around you. Love and prayers, Carrie Pinotti
A quote from Kristone
"God has not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way.
Grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love."
What a gorgeous, sweet boy. He looks very peaceful. No doubt because he was showered with so much love from his wonderful family.
Baby Mac is beautiful. My heart pours out to you and you have been in my prayers constantly. Your strength, faith, and courage is an inspiration to us all. My sister was profoundly touched to be with you and your family last night.
You are loved by so many. I hope that you will somehow take comfort in this.
Love,
yaya

I'm just a stranger to you...I learned of your family through Elizabeth's blog...your family has been in my thoughts & prayers all day. The power of Prayer is profound! May peace shine down upon your family during this difficult time. Baby Mac has touched many hearts!!!
Claire and Jeff,
I wish that I could come up with the words that so many before me have. You have such amazing friends that seem to know just what to say. I was not blessed with such eloquence. Baby Mac is a precious and beautiful soul, and was so lucky to be held and loved by you both in his short life. I was on my knees praying for you this morning, and will continue to think and pray for you all in the weeks and months to come.
Much love,
Krissy (Woodrow) Taylor
