We LOVE You Trey
It is with great saddness that we write this entry. Our beautiful Trey passed away early saturday evening. His chronic lung disease/pulmonary hypertension finally caught up with him. We are so proud of the fight he fought; his toughness and drive will always inspire us. After day 2 when we thought he wouldn't make it, he allowed us to spend five months with him. He surprised everyone with how long he fought and if we can take anything from this it's that he was an extremely strong little boy with a great spirit.
We know we are not the only ones grieving; he was loved by so many people that didn't even get to meet him. Life seems to be extremely unfair, but we will always treasure the five months we had with Trey. We could not have asked for a better last day with him. Thanks to everyone who made that possible.
Arrangements are being made, and we will inform everyone when things are final, so we can all say goodbye.

ReplyDeleteDearest Randy, Beth and Stella:

We love you Randy, Beth, & Stella...WE are so sorry for your loss...You both are very special parents! You both showed Trey the ever-lasting love that he will take with him. Trey knows how much you loved him, that's why he stuck around...he wanted to show You, Stella & others that love!
ReplyDeleteBeth, Randy & Stella, we are so sorry that you have to go through all this pain, you are right life is unfair, but unfortunatly we can not control certain things in life. Trey will always know how much you love him, he is a very special little boy and will be missed very much. Stay strong for each other, we continue to pray for you.

Randy, Beth, and Stella,
ReplyDeleteParents-to-parents, we can't think of anything worse than what you are going through right now. Our hearts are so very heavy with sadness right now that little Trey's journey here on earth has come to an end so early in his young life. What a blessing he was though, when you think of how many lives he touched when so many of those touched by his existence hadn't even had the opportunity to meet him in person yet. It truly is inspiring to think of his little body and the fragile state he was in and yet he fought and fought so that you would have the past 5 months with him. As much of a void his absence has left and though it hurts so much to think of his passing, we are so relieved for your little angel that he is not in pain and that the struggle is over. We love you and have all felt as much a part of this pregnancy and the twin's lives as if they were our own thanks to Randy and you sharing the lives of the children with us. We will continue to pray that God will grant you the strength that you will need to get through this so that you can both go on to be strong for Stella. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything at all. Take care for now.
Love & Prayers, Joel, Wendy, Hagen, and Adleigh
Beth and Randy- I'm so sorry to hear about Trey. He was very lucky to have such great parents and a beautiful sister by his side through this all. For those very short 5 months that he was on earth you gave him the greatest gift by showing him how much love there can be in this world! You both are very inspiring people and I'm thinking of all of you. If there is anything that I can do please let me know.

Randy and Beth,
ReplyDeleteWe can only imagine the sadness you're feeling with the passing of such a little angel. A miracle child from conception when many said it wasn't possible. Hold precious the memories of a special time when your family was complete even under the toughest of times. It is what it is and was what it was. The time has come to fondly remember Trey, pick up your spirits and go on sharing your love with each other and Stella. Again our deepest sympathies for your loss and we'll be seeing you soon.
Gary and Chris Gilson
Our greatest condolences Mr. Todd. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss Mr.and Mrs.Toddand Stella. There will be many prayers sent to you by my family. Treasure the happy moments in your life with your son as all he knew was love. Hearts will hang heavy and tears will flow like a broken leavy. People will be sad and it will make you mad because you were a boy who loved to spread joy, in the form of a smile or a laugh that would signal your job was done at last. But now you watch us from up thier and keep us safe from despair, because the next ti...me we smile you will to because you know its for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm am so very sorry.
ReplyDeleteI read your story everyday hoping and praying all would go well.
My thoughts are with you all.

I have read every blog and feel compelled to comment now even though I never have before. Words can not express how sorry I am for both of you. You all did "fight the good fight" and no one could ever say that you didn't give it your all. You tried everything you could have and little Trey must have know that. You are incredible parents and this tragic experience will make you value life in a way you never did before. It has already done that for me. Trey taught us all lessons and in that way he will live on. Sincerely, Robin W. (I work w/ Randy)
ReplyDeleteDear Beth and Randy, with the heaviest of heart full of love and tears for your little family I am sending you this note. I don't really know what to say... telling one of your dearest friends that you are sorry for the loss of their child just isn't enough- parents should not have to say good bye to their babies. The hurt in my heart runs so deep for you and your family. May God and your faith along with your family get you through this impossibly heartbreaking time. When you are ready, give me a call. We love you all so very much and are here for you and anything you may need. I love you all and I am so terribly sorry I never got to meet your little boy.
ReplyDeleteBeth and Randy,
ReplyDeleteWords cannot express how deeply saddened we are for the loss of Trey. He was "the little engine who could" who fought so hard, for so long. As many other people have noted, he inherited that strength from the two of you. You both know that we are here, whenever, and will be wherever, to help you in your time of need. I know sometimes it is hard to ask, but please lean on us.
We love you both so much!
Kristen and Carl
What a gift it has been getting to know all of you. I feel honored and blessed to have spent such a bittersweet moment in your lives.
ReplyDeleteI will miss Stella's sweet smile and snuggles.
Please take care of each other and let Stella know what a strong brother she had and spent special time with-
I prayed to Hope to meet Trey in heaven upon his arrival and give him a big hug for all of us down here who miss him dearly.
Although our journeys have been unique, we understand the loss and will be here whenever you need us.
With much love,
Caroline & Caleb
Randy and Beth and Stella, God Bless and keep you strong. I cannot imagine but I know there is another angel in Heaven today. His strength has been an inspiration to many, myself included. Stella will have an amazing life with you both as her parents and Trey watching over her, Take care, our love and thoughts are with you all!!

Beth and Randy,
ReplyDeleteIt is hard for me to put into words the way I feel right now. Having been through a similar experience - my heart aches for the pain and emptiness I know you both feel at this time. I know your baby boy is in a wonderful place as he joins mine as another angel in heaven to watch over us and our children. I am so thankful that I am one of the few who got to meet Trey. Please know that I am here for either of you anytime you need me. I know the rollercoaster that you have been on and will continue to ride for the days ahead. Believe me as I say, Time Heals. I love you and are so proud of the wonderful parents that you are and for the amazing love you have shown your babies from the beginning of a long journey. You will remain in my prayers and I will see you soon! Love, Melissa
Randy, Beth and Stella, I pray that our lord and Saviour Jesus will grant you all the strength to except Treys' being called home. Something that I was told three years ago that helped me tremendously is that God is crying too. We have a tendency to blame God when we experience a loss such as this, it is unnatural and unfair, but God will see you through, I Promise! We will be here for you in Prayer and Fellowship. Trey will always remain in our Hearts and in our daily lives. We will never forget our visit with Trey and will always be Thankful to have met our Godson in person. We Love You all very much! Dan

Ode to Trey
ReplyDeleteTo blithe-filled parents, a baby boy was born.
Weak in the body, but strong in will.
The only thing harder than a son losing a father,
is a father losing a son.
He graced us with his presence,
each day with him, a little present.
But God has different plans,
for their beloved little one.
Though it is a sorrowful departure,
they must kiss good-bye their little marcher,
but they know he isn't gone,
A little angel wakes in the dawn.
He watches over those who gave him life,
his guidance over them, forever rife.
Trey still breathes, in our hearts and minds.
Your in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for you loss. What a beautiful, strong baby boy. Rest in Peace Trey. <3
ReplyDeleteBeth, Randy & Stella,
ReplyDeleteWe are so saddened by the loss of baby Trey. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your family members during this terrible tragedy. Trey was so strong and fought so hard. Remember him for that. If you need anything don't hesitate. We are thinking of you <3
Randy, Beth, and Stella- You all and Trey have been in my thoughts and prayers for the past 5 months. Prayers for both Stella and Trey have gone round the globe. I know everyone's hearts are breaking right now. But, there is also much to be thankful for - most boys live 2 decades before they learn to fight for the lives and freedom. Trey learned the first 2 days of his life and he fought a valiant battle for his life. And now for the freedom with his heavenly father and Timmy PJ for a new life. He received the courage for his battle from the faith and love of his family, his wonderful parents, and baby sister. It makes my heart smile thinking of Trey and Timmy PJ sitting on Jesus' lap. My prayers continue for all of you. Mom Hooley
ReplyDeleteRandy, Beth and Stella,
ReplyDeleteI know this pain, I have taken this journey. My prayer for you is that with each day that passes your hearts will heal a little more. I believe with all my heart that our children choose us; what an amazing choice Trey made. May it bring you some comfort to know that your son only ever knew love. Deana
Randy, Beth and Stella,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry for the loss of Trey! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families!!! Stay strong, as you have been! He was an unbelievable fighter!!!

beth randy and family,
ReplyDeleteI can not express to your family how sorry i am for your loss my heart aches for you.. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I have been watching this journey with love and prayers and now it continues with Trey in a place where he is not struggling. Although it is hard to say goodbye, memories of him will live on forever and his life filled with so much love from people who did not know him. He was blessed, as were you. My deepest sympathies for the whole family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jan G
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for your family, i have been keeping tabs on Trey and saying prayers. What a strong little man he was. Just take comfort that he is no longer struggling and suffering. He will live on forever in your hearts.
ReplyDeletei know we have never met, but I understand what it means to lose a child, my wife and I lost preemie twins born at 25 weeks, and they lived for 3 days. If you would ever like to talk to someone, my wife and I would be happy to listen.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. He gave you strength, when you felt your weakest. He gave you hope, when you felt hopeless. He gave you Stella, love her, hold her, and tell her what a good little boy her brother was. I will not forget Trey. My prayers are with you all.
