Connor's Life...
In photos...
Click on "Play" to watch the video...
We showed this short video before speaking at Connor's service - the pictures taken by "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" photographers, Julie and Miyo - paired with our favorite music, was the only way to convey the feelings in our hospital room that evening.
Many thanks to Julie Williams and Miyo Strong. We will be forever grateful for the photographs you captured of our little boy and the emotions we felt the day he was born.
We have Bret & Sarah Barton to thank for compiling the beautiful video we shared at Connor's service.
We were so lucky to have such a good doctor and compassionate nurses. Thank you.

The video about Connor is really a little treasure. There is a poem from the Canadian author Mary Elizabeth Frye that I would like to share with you because it reflects so much how we welcomed and said goodbye to Connor.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
What a sweet little boy. That was such a wonderful video of all of your memories with Conner. Your family is such an example to others. I appreciated the chance to take care of you and your beautiful little guy. Thank you for sharing that with me. You will forever be in my thoughts.

It is a comfort to know that these precious newborn children are so perfect in the eyes of God that they have no need to face these earthly trials. Little one is yours forever and will greet you when you are taken home to Father's kingdom. L.S. in SLC--we also lost a little one.
Jennifer and Spencer,
This video captures the love the Savior has for us and the hope and desires we each have to be a family forever. It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this special part of your life with us. May God continue to bless you and your family. Jeanna J. Hansen
This is so beautiful. Words cannot express. My wife and I were moved to tears by the pictures and music and we are so thankful you are so willing to share this special time with us.
