It is with great sadness that we have to tell you that our youngest daughter, sweet Aimee Katherine, has been called home to the Lord after an accident in front of our house. She slipped away from us and into the loving arms of her Jesus yesterday afternoon. Kyrie often wrote "Jesus Loves Me" on Aimee's hand, much to her delight. She would always be sad when it washed away and she'd say sorrowfully, "My Jesus is gone." We always told her that He was never gone and now she will be in His wonderful presence forever and she knows that He was never gone, but always with her.
She brought such joy to us and everyone she met in her three short years. We are so thankful for every moment we had with her. Please pray for us, and especially her brothers and sisters, as we walk through the long grieving process. We do not grieve as the world does, without hope, but we do grieve. I cannot imagine going through this without God beside us, giving us the strength we do not have- but it is still very, very hard.
We love you, Aimee, and we miss you so much. Until we meet again.

I am praying on every remembrance.
Much love,

Praying for you and your family. We loved Aimee so much, and can't imagine how hard it is. But "I lie down and sleep; I awake again, because the Lord sustains me." Psalm 3:5. He will get you through this. And we are here for you and your family every step.
-Tracy and the rest of the Pippin family
My heart has been so saddened since hearing this. I can't imagine what you guys are feeling right now. I know she is sitting with Jesus right now telling Him how much she loves you guys! We are praying for all of you!
I can't even say "I'm sorry" or "Everything happens for a reason" or any other comment because they seem so hollow. Just know that we are thinking about you and that we will hug our own kids a little longer as they leave for school this morning. We only met Aimee once and her beautiful little face left such an impression on me because she looked like Mama Jo. We will pray for your family.
May the presence of our Savior be with all of you as you deal with your loss. I will be praying for you. God Bless you all.

We are so saddened to hear of your loss. Aimee was such a light and joy with her precious smile. And we loved seeing her beautiful face. We are praying for God to send His comfort that can only come from Him. Aimee is now "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"! We love you and will keep you in our prayers and do anything we can for you and your family.
We live over in Legends Ranch and heard about your loss. We will pray for your family.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Praying for you all.
Revelation 21:4
Dear Tartan, Naomi, Alex, Kyrie, Aidan. Abigail and Kayleigh
I wish I had known your precious Aimee-we have so many happy memories of you from the years you spent with us in Scotland; your love for each other was such a joy to see but greater still your love for the Lord Jesus Christ. I wish we could hold you in our arms right now but please be assured that we are weeping with you and praying for each one of you. Love from Ian and Shona
I pray for the comfort that only our Lord, Jesus Christ can give you.
My heart is with you and your family. My prayers are surrounding you!
May God's grace be on you in such a real way, giving you strength as only He can.
Our daughter, Isabella danced at Excelsior with Abigail for 2 years. We are so sorry for your loss, but rejoice in knowing that you will be reunited with your precious daughter one day. Thankful that she is in the presence of our Lord & Savior...praying His peace & comfort for your family...
Blessings,
Marie
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 There are no words ... but HE is the God of all comfort. We will be lifting you all before His throne. Please let us know how we can help you. Much love, the Gerbrecht Family
We are praying for you and your family. May the Lord comfort you and sustain you.
I do not know your family but my thoughts and prayers are with you, such a tragedy.
I'm a new Woodlands resident and homeschool mom.
Father, right now I lift up the Colliers to you. It is not for Aimee I pray, because you are holding her in your arms right now. But even as they know that, their arms ache for her. Shadow them with your protectiveness and peace. Remind them that you put every one of their tears in a bottle. Amen. Love you very much, Colliers, I will continue to pray.
So sorry for your loss and I send my deepest sincere loving thoughts to you and your family in your time of sadness.
We will miss her and pray for all of you during this time.
Smith Family
I don't know your family, but my heart is broken for you guys right now. You all are in mine and my families prayers.
Love from you sister in Christ,
Rachel
Tartan and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your profound loss. Nothing I can say or do will even begin to compare with your grief and pain right now. You are doing the right thing by turning to Our Holy Father and His son, Jesus Christ. Although it is often said that time heals all wounds, this is one wound that time will touch. As you watch your footsteps through this period of your lives, you will see that there is only one set, because Jesus is carrying you all through this.
Sorry, I can't seem to figure out how to leave my name...above post from Tanya Foster Hanna, and family.
Our hearts are heavy for your loss and we will continue to pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will fill your void with His presence.

Ours hearts break with you, Naomi. Many prayers.

May the peace of God be with your family. Also, with the young lady who was driving. Lives have been changed forever, may God be praised for his love, mercy and watch care. Fortunately this earth is not our home.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Collier family. I can only imagine the pain you are feeling. Though I only know Tartan and have not seen him since hs, I can tell through your blog that your family is a loving one of strong faith. God will get you through. Peace be with you!
Margaret (Dorweiler) Johnson
My thoughts and prayers are with the Collier family as they deal with this tragedy.

I can only imagine the pain you feel, but, as you know, God will carry you through. Peace be with you!

We are praying for comfort for your family as you grieve the loss of your precious baby girl. We too have a little one in heaven and I thank the Lord that you do not grieve without hope, but with the assurance that not only will you one day be reunited, but that she is in the loving presence of our perfect Heavenly Father.
I am so sorry for you loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless-The Polakoffs
My condolences and prayers as you grieve your sweet little girl.
Your sweet baby looks so much like our granddaughter. Her impish grin just tugs at my heart.
She may have only been here for a short time, but know that she has inspired many to hug their children and love each other fully.
May God keep you in His hands. My prayers for you and your family.
May God Bless you His Peace during this very difficult time. We do not know each other but through Christ. I look forward to meeting this precious child one day in Heaven. You are in my prayers and the prayers of my family. In Him!
We carry you to our Father in prayer right now. May the Comforter Himself hold you in His arms. What a blessing to have the hope in Christ that you will see your dear one again.
Your brother and sister in Christ.

Jan and Gerry VK
Praying for Jesus to comfort your family in your loss.
My heart is broken for you and my prayers are with you.
My heart goes out to you . . . I saw on Carla McDougal's FB to pray for your family and your blog link. I ache, as we know the pain. Our 16 year old son died in an accident in our home, found by his younger siblings, just over 7 years ago, right before Christmas. I know the fog you are in now . . . I know the pain you will face, but with you, have that unspeakable HOPE and FAITH that we will see and hold our children again in heaven. This side of heaven is so hard and can tear at our hearts terribly, but God is continually holding on. Let others help carry you. I will pray for your family as your name comes to mind.
Donna B - praying for you and your loss. I know that has to be one of the hardest things to deal with but I am so happy to know that you and your family love God and know Him. I will be lifting you up in prayers.
Naomi, I will miss that precious child running around the foyer at ballet. Aimee always lit up my day when I saw her. Such a beautiful child. We are so so sorry. We will miss her. We are praying and will continue to pray. Much love, Tammy & Alexis Moore
I am praying for your family. Praying that the Lord will continue to give you strength. Strength in knowing that He will comfort you and your family during this time. Strength in knowing that Aimee has met the Creator of all the Earth and in His arms is where she will be until you meet again. May the Lord bless you all and keep you and fill your hearts with His love and presence.
God Bless,
The Fisher Family
sorry .... must be so hard
This was one of my verses from "Jesus Calling" today as I was praying for you:
"He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young." ~Isaiah 40:11
There are no words. Paul and I will pray that the Lord will be very near to you and your family during this unspeakable time of loss.
I cannot even imagine the ache y'all must feel right now. Praying for God's overwhelming comfort, strength, and peace during these dark days for your entire family.
--Kristy Allen and family
Naomi and family, I am so sorry. We are praying for God to cover you with comfort right now. I don't know what else to say.

I dont know what to say, and cant imagine your pain. We are thinking of you all and praying for you all.
Love from Michelle and Ian Garrett.
I do not know you, however words can not express the sadness in my heart for your loss of a child and sibling. I am praying for you and for God to wrap His loving arms around all of you and for the woman driving the car, who will also carry this pain. May your faith sustain you. Laus Deo
Tartan, Naomi and family, we can't imagine the pain you are walking through right now, but we know Who is walking through it with you. You are and will continue to be in our prayers.

Rhea & Shannon Robison and family
So very sorry you have to go through this. Our family knows EXACTLY what you are feeling...we lost our son just two short months ago. Our hearts KNOW your mind-numbing grief and sorrow, FEEL your gut-wrenching pain and we WEEP uncontrollably along with you for such horrible loss. Our children are not suppose to go before us and it's just WRONG when they do...ESPECIALLY at the hands of another!!! We pray God gives you the ability to keep on going each and everyday...just as he helps us each and everyday sift through this fog we've been forced to navigate. God bless you...your daughter IS precious!!!
My heart goes out to you! Please know that our family and the families of Gamma chapter are praying for you. Please let me know if there is anything at all we can do.

I'm so very sorry.
Dear Collier Family,
We just learned today about Aimee, and are so, so sorry for your loss. We knew Aimee as a beautiful, sweet girl who kept her mom, brothers, and sisters on their toes when they came to visit the library. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and know you are in our hearts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Eileen Lee, Marianne Potter, and Sarah Fischer
Children's Staff at the South Regional Library
I cannot imagine the depth of grief you are experiencing right now. May the hand of God uphold your family as you mourn the loss of Aimee. As she dances at the feet of Jesus, may you experience God's comfort and the peace that only He can give.
