Today I went and saw my Emma. Emma is still beautiful and however difficult it is me to see her like that, I am still grateful for the blessing of such a good person in my life. I can’t tell you how bad it hurts to see her lying there, to know that we are going to miss all of the amazing things she was going to do and be. She was so good, I can’t believe she is gone, I can’t believe it is real.
After making all the arrangements (picking the casket was unbearable) to bring my baby home I realized I hadn’t found her charm bracelet (she never takes it off) I went to my aunt’s house to search where the accident happened to see if I could bring it home to her mom and sisters. I couldn’t stay at the place where my Emma was taken from me and thankfully I found out shortly after that Emma left it home knowing home much work she was going to do and so she didn’t lose it anywhere on the ranch.
Today was the hardest day of my life, but probably not the hardest day I will have. In a couple hours I will board a plane with our girl and bring her home. As of right now there will be a viewing on Sunday night at Forest Park in The Woodlands from 5-8 pm (family from 4-5) the services will be Monday at 2:00 pm
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
25623 Richards Rd, Spring, TX 77386
Grave ceremony will be at Forest Park Mortuary.
Thank you to everyone for all of the love and support.
I don’t even have kids, but the pain of your loss is so evident and real. My heart is breaking for you, your wife, and family. Many prayers are going out for you.
As a parent I am completely heartbroken for you and Tiffany. I have fallen in love with your family ever since I first saw y’all on Extreme Couponing. Yours and your wife’s words about her are breath-taking. Cling to God. Take it Day by Day, even minute by minute. I am so incredibly sorry for your great loss.
Prayers for peace, comfort and understanding for you and your family. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family at this most difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a 15 yr old sister when I was 19 in a car vs train accident. So sudden and devastating. I will pray for you all.

I don’t know if I could ever find the words to tell your family how very sorry I am. I’ve been able to share tidbits of your lives for a few years now as I have read both of your blogs. My heart goes out to you and Tiffany and your children. Emma is one of your treasures. God bless her life, her memory and each and every one of you as you try to get through the days ahead. Hold tight to His hand.

I just wanted to say to you and Tiffany how heartbroken I am for you and your family. As a mother myself, I could not imagine losing my child. I will be praying for you and your family as you try to get through this terrible time. I know heaven has gained an angel, but it is still so hard to lose her, especially at such a young age. Many many hugs to you and yours!
Our heart breaks for you and your family. I see the LDS church as the place you will have the viewing, I hope that means you are LDS because being one myself, I know you know that you can be with her again. I know it doesn’t lessen the pain you will have to go thru here again, but I do know the Gospel can help. We will continue to lift you up all in prayer.
I am praying for you and your family. I know there is nothing harder then loosing a child. I can’t say I know how you and your wife feel, I haven’t lost a child. My heart goes out to both of you at this time. I sat at my moms yesterday and read your story to her, I was crying and had her crying. January will be three years that my brother died tragic and she made the statement the hardest thing a parent can do is Barry a child. My heart break for you and Tiffany. Just know you have a lot of people are praying for your family.
My deepest condolences go out to you, Tiffany and your family. God will give you the strength to heal. Emma is a good Angel. Your family will continue to be in my prayers. Love you all.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. My daughter was killed Ina car accident 4 years ago so unfortunately I do understand what you are going through. I have a friend and an Uncle who both lost children and one thing they both told me is that it does get easier with time, but that you never forget. It did take quite some time but the days got easier and they were right you do never forget. You have many difficult days ahead of you take the time you need to grieve. You all are in y thoughts and prayers.

My heart dropped when I read the very first sentence on why your hearts were broken… I can’t even imagine… But He can and I can’t wait to meet her at Home. Prayers for comfort and peace to you, your wife and family…
Prayers for your family. Cannot imagine your pain. May God help you and your family through this.
I sorry about your loss. It brings tears to my eyes. Why was she away? You said you had to fly her home.
She was helping her Aunt away from home
Lifting you and your family up in prayer. Thank you that you would still continue to update the blog through this difficult time. Praying Father’s peace and comfort strengthen you. In Jesus’ name.
I was saddened to learn of your loss. Please know that my husband and I are sending thoughts & prayers for you, Tiffany, your children and the rest of your family during this time.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. I can’t imagine the pain and trials that you and your family are enduring right now. I pray that you and your family can find some peace in your hearts in the weeks and months to follow. May God be with you all!
I am so very sorry. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain your family is in right now. And I know nothing I can saw will make it less horrible or tragic. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers <3
As a mother who has also lost a daughter, my heart breaks for you. I have kept you in my prayers. This is a road we never imagined we would be traveling. I will never say I know how you feel (we are all such different people), but I can say I remember. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
Thank you so much, I am so sorry about your daughter.
So sorry for your family’s loss. Lord Jesus, please hear all our prayers.
My heart broke the moment I read your first post about the accident that took Emma’s life. I can’t believe it and I don’t even know what to say or write right now. Our whole family is praying for you, Tiffany and your children, family, and friends. I have lost a child too but she was only 5 weeks old. I am continually amazed at how she works to reach us in small ways. She sends us monarch butterflies, opera music (specific songs her 3 year old brother requests) and so many graces. Watch for Emma! I still tear up when these small blessings take place but I also smile. Watch for Emma!!! She loves you and will send you much love and blessings from heaven. We will pray for you all.
You all will be on my mind and in my prayers today. I am so very sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss. I just met you guys a couple of weeks ago. I feel in love with the joy between you two. I can’t say I know how you feel because I have never lost a child, but I know it hurts. I will lift you and your family up in prayer.
As an LDS member, and a coupon blogger myself, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss!
Please know that your family is in my prayers. I cannot begin to imagine the grief you are feeling but I hope that the wonderful memories of your beautiful child will wrap around you like a blanket and give you comfort to get through each day ahead.
I am so sorry for your loss you and your family will be in my prayers.
I just saw the news today on TV and heard about what happened to your family. I’ve been a follower of your blog for years and I just wanted to tell you that I’m very sorry for your loss. I don’t have kids myself but I can imagine how devastated is the loss of a child. My prayers are for you and your family, may the lord bring comfort to your heart and bless you with peace.
I’m so sorry for your lost. She was so young and beautiful and I can only imagine the pain that you and your family are feeling. I also lost a loved one my daddy on August 8 he was 78 years old.
I’m so sorry for your lost. I wanted to share in something that would bring comfort.The bible says at John 5 :29 , those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. So there will be a resurrection here on earth. Psalm 37:29 says The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. I have lost my mom at an young age and I have the hope of the Bible that I will see my loved ones some day.
