Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are "hanging in there" Things are going as well as can be expected and all arangements are made. Thought I would give some more details about the visitation and graveside service. The visitation is at:
Price Funeral Home
120 E. 1st Street
Maryville Missouri
Just a side note for those coming in from out of town from the south, Main street in Maryville has been closed for quite some time for road construction, so take the detour by HyVee to the East and take Market North to 1st street with the parking lot on the right hand corner of Market and 1st street.
The graveside service will be held at St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetary outside of Treynor Iowa. If the weather is looking really bad, were talking down-pour, check at the church first. In case of inclement weather, a service will be held at the church with a small family burial to follow. Friends and extended family will be asked to stay and visit at the fellowship hall until the immediate family returns to the church for the luncheon, but this is only the case if it is raining like crazy. Hopefully this will not be the case and we can just continue with the graveside service. If weather is an issue, anyone can contact the church and they will be able to let you know if there have been any change of plans.
St. Paul's Lutheran Chruch

You guys are very much on my mind. I am planning on attending the service in Treynor. It is the least I can do to honor your amazing little girl.
It is so sweet of you to keep everyone informed in spite of all you are feeling right now. Have a safe trip home to Iowa. We will be there tomorrow with hugs.

We are thinking of y'all constantly. Hope that God will bring you some peace in the days and weeks ahead.
I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you today and will be tomorrow. I wish that I could be there, please let me know if you need anything.

I will not be able to attend with you but want you to know I will be there in spirit. Your precious Angel is all I have thought about all week. I really wish you guys all the best. I know that God will guide you through this. Just believe in him.
If you ever need some support, please let me know. You have a wonderful support system right here.
I was going to send some flowers to the church but will honor Elli and give a donation to the RMH.
Again, thank you for sharing your beautiful Elli with us. That was the best gift you could have given all of us.
Respectfully,
Kaci
the visitation was beautiful thanks for sharing even more of your precious Elli by showing us even more pictures. I know she is in heaven smiling down on the both of you!
Cassi and Brian-The visitation was beautiful!! Thank you for sharing more pictures of your precious angel Elli!! She was absolutely gorgeous!!! I wish I would have gotten to squeeze her!! All of my love and don't forget about Wednesday night!!! Salena
I wish we could be there in person--but we will keep you in our prayers.
Much love to your family during this difficult time.

I know that tonight was probably one of the hardest, yet relieving nights of your lives.. So envious of your strength and your will.. The way you have honored Elli is very honorable and courageous. She is looking down knowing that she has the best parents in the whole world!!! I know things will start to slow down for you now, know that none of us will ever forget your fight, or Elli's fight here on earth. NEVER! She will not only be a part of your lives forever, but she has a place in our hearts, she was a warrior of CDH, and so were you!!! She is so beautiful!!!!! This part of your life will be remembered my many, and never forgotten by others... Know that you will be her mother and father forever.. You will have a daughter forever, our Lord just needed her more!!! Before you and Brian, Cass, I had never heard of CDH, you educated us all, and so did she!!
Love to both of you!!!
Please keep in touch after the move!!!!
I will need new addresses and phone numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry we can't be there tomorrow, or today rather. Thinking of you both today and praying for some peace for the two of you. The pictures were beautiful at the visitation.

Just a quick note to let you know how beautiful the visitation was. The video presentation was precious. Continued thoughts & prayers this morning as you both prepare to lay Angel Elli in her resting place.

Brian, Cassi and family--we are thinking of you this morning as you celebrate Elli's life and put her body to rest. She will live in the hearts of many; thank you again for sharing your amazing daughter with all of us. She is loved by a large community who will remember her strength, determination, and pure love for those who cared for her--namely her parents. Thoughts and prayers to you today and in the days, months and years ahead.

We are still so heartbroken about Angel Elli, but continue to pray that you both find peace. If we see Carter smiling once he's born, we'll know it's Elli making him laugh and comforting him. If you EVER need to talk,need something, or just want to check in don't hesitate to contact us (kzmyers@yahoo.com). Please continue to stay in touch.

Dear Cassie and Brian: Words cannot truly express my feelings. My heart aches for you. Please know you have many friends and "family" thinking of you and praying for you. Your strength and love is evident throughout Angel Elli's blog. Ellie touched my heart through her pictures. Thank you so very much for sharing this little angel with us.
With loving thoughts and many prayers,
Liviana's Nonna (Grandma)

Cassi and Brian~Your love for your precious Angel Elli and for each other is amazing. I am in awe at how you have supported each other during your journey was parents to Miss Elli and how you have been so open with your blog family and friends. You, as well as Miss Angel Elli have taught us so much about love, life and CDH. God certainly knew what He was doing when he hand chose you for Miss Elli's parents, he truly picked the BEST. May your faith in God, your love for each other and your Angel Elli carry you through this most difficult time. May you also reach out to family and friends for support, we are here for you, now and forever. May you be blessed with Angel Kisses everyday from your precious little Angel Elli.
Love you both,
MaryBeth
My heart continues to ache. You two and the Neff family have truly made me and Jesse better parents. We take so much for granted. Taylor asked me if our late Grandma Grace would be holding Elli now and if our late friend Jeremy would help change her diapers since he changed hers when she was a baby...of course they will. Your strength is so admirable and you all are the most unselfish parents I have ever met. Always will your daughter be in my heart reminding me to be a better mom. I love you.
Love,
Amber & Jesse Thompson
We lifted y'all up many times today in prayer as you laid sweet Elli to rest. There are no words to ease your pain now but know that there are literally thousands celebrating and mourning Elli's life with you. What a blessing she was and as a CDH mom I cannot thank you enough for letting us be a part of her life and her journey. She has taught all of us so much!
We are here if you need anything. Elli is always loved and never forgotten. I couldn't help but cry today as I looked down at my wrist and saw her bracelet. My husband and I wear them proudly each day!
Brian and Cassi - We love y'all dearly. We are praying that God will send you peace.
Cassie and Brian, I was just checking in with you guys and wanted to let you know that a day hasn't gone by that I'm not thinking of your family. Looks like the services were beautiful by the comments left. I hope that you two can find a path to help ease your pain.
Thinking of you always,
Kaci
