My heart and condolences go out to the Kellam-Hoyle family and baby Jeremiah, whose name means 'The Lord exalts'. In His infinite Wisdom, the King called his daughter to Himself as Jesus Christ literally carried her home and instantly ended all of her pain and suffering.The grave could not hold the Lord Jesus down and death had lost its sting ever since! On the sabbath day, rest was given unto her. She had a glorious arrival,and a future oh so bright is awaiting her. Afterall she IS the King's daughter!
(Christina Ball,daughter of Glorious Hoyle and granddaughter of Judith Hoyle McLendon}
