Balloons for Chase
My friend, Chelsea, lost her sweet baby boy last Sunday. She delivered him Wednesday, and said goodbye in a balloon celebration on Saturday. You can read about their story here. Several friends joined her in sending up balloons to Chase. Nora and I traveled to Nashville to release balloons with the Stites and Sandersons.
First, we all wrote notes to tie to the balloons. 
Here are the three families represented minus Kevin- he wanted to join us but had some church commitments that kept him in Memphis. 
We played Blessed Be Your Name while Murray read, ironically, the same verse Mark and Chelsea chose to represent Chase's life. David said a sweet prayer, then it was time to release and celebrate!
The release! 
We love you Chase and Jacobs/Teague families!

My tears are falling as I look at the sweet faces of my friends who I love SO much! THANK YOU to all three of your families for taking the time to meet together and honor us and our sweet baby boy this way. We are truly overwhelmed with the love we feel. Please tell each of your precious children thank you for making this day a wonderful memory for the five of us. :) We love all of you!!
What a SPECIAL day Saturday was! Thanks so much, for pulling us together (and driving the farthest) to honor baby Chase! Love you, Ang!!
Chels---your words made me cry!! I can't believe you are thanking us! What an honor to be included in this day! My daughter, Faith, has talked about you and your baby "Chasey" (she REFUSES to call him Chase) so much this past week. She is very concerned for you but is glad that Chasey caught her balloon! We keep praying for you and grieve this tremendous loss with you and your family!!
