<br />
On Sunday, October 3rd, another beautiful heart baby, Baby Ewan, went to heaven.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDPIs2IXJ_8dTzEvyhimtLJ0ho7lKie4fZuZLNMVZfZRdcBC-UOYDzFEVrKGVyg-tzk4wRs2WEYO9q0A_hxuw9SD1sgZ_hSIMPq-CHBLCZqLMYXtoz8jE2ytIquXo6OMXmF8K-F4-Lhyphenhyphent/s1600/5050646237_a7e755f941_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDPIs2IXJ_8dTzEvyhimtLJ0ho7lKie4fZuZLNMVZfZRdcBC-UOYDzFEVrKGVyg-tzk4wRs2WEYO9q0A_hxuw9SD1sgZ_hSIMPq-CHBLCZqLMYXtoz8jE2ytIquXo6OMXmF8K-F4-Lhyphenhyphent/s400/5050646237_a7e755f941_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
He put up an AMAZING fight and was such a strong little boy.<br />
<br />
My heart is SO heavy for Kristen and James. I've been saying lot of prayers for them. Unfortunately, I know what they are going through and a lot of what they are feeling. It's not something I'd wish upon anyone. <br />
<br />
I take joy in knowing their beautiful Ewan will bless Cohen with his presence, and I'm certain, friendship. <br />
<br />
I hate congenital heart defects. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.<b> </b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NRSV)</b></div><br />
(I used the scripture & picture off momma Kristen's (and team-ewan) <a href="http://www.team-ewan.com/"><b style="color: #ffd966;">blog</b></a>.<br />
<br />
Thank you for all of your continued love and support for our family and so many other families.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Danielle from <a href="http://thedesigngirlstudio.blogspot.com/">The Design Girl</a> contacted me and wanted to donate as well. She is an amazing designer and has done some AWESOME blog <a href="http://designgirlportfolio.blogspot.com/2008/11/more-scrapbook-blogs.html">makeovers</a>! Now is the time to get that bloggy face-lift you have been wanting!! She is offering a few different options for you to choose from and will donate $ dollar amounts from those. Here is what she sent me:</span><br />
<br />
<i>I met Megan {and her husband Brent} sometime over the past year or two through <a href="http://www.inthiswonderfullife.com/" target="_blank">Megan's blog</a>. When Megan announced that she was pregnant, I was thrilled for her! While she was pregnant, Megan found out that Cohen had 4 heart defects. You can read their story on her blog. They packed up and moved to Texas to be near the best hospital with the best doctors for their son. What amazing parents they already were for this special little guy!<br />
<br />
On June 7th, baby Cohen entered the world. He underwent several surgeries and fought so hard to survive. We were all so sad to hear that Cohen went to heaven just 12 days later. He was such an inspiration to so many people and will always hold a special place in my heart and the hearts of those who followed this story. I have never met Megan and Brent, but "know" them through the blog world. It is <span style="font-style: italic;">so easy</span> to see what sweet, loving, and wonderful people they are.<br />
<br />
Megan and Brent's friend started a blog for Cohen. She wanted to help raise some money to help with all of his medical bills, so I contacted her to see if I could help. <br />
</i><br />
<i><br style="font-weight: bold;" /> For the next week, I will donate the following to help with Cohen's expenses. <br />
<br />
$20 from every $35 deposit for a blog makeover. <br />
$10 from every $35 pre-made blogger template. <br />
50% of all print at home stationery orders.</i>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767337097118464205noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464645848092672102.post-50495397825690318092010-07-02T10:23:00.000-07:002010-07-02T08:22:54.438-07:00Visitors from Penny's InvitationHi Family & Friends!

<div style="text-align: center;">____________________________</div><br />
What: Moment of Silence for Cohen<br />
<br />

<br />
How: Bloggers participating will post the Cohen banner (below) or simply post Cohen’s name in large letters on their blog.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Michael C</b><b>ohen Marshall</b></span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Born in Dallas, TX on June 7, 2010, the first child of Megan and Brent Marshall, Michael Cohen Marshall came into the world at 7 lbs. 6 oz., with a hearty cry and a congenital heart condition. He was known as The Mighty Cohen in his short little life, for he endured multiple surgeries and procedures. For twelve days Cohen fought with the heart of a lion, but on June 18, 2010, his little body could not match his fighting spirit. He was delivered into the Kingdom of Heaven at 8:35pm in his parents’ arms. He was loved and adored by his parents, their families and friends every day of his life. Cohen touched thousands of lives with his story. The world came to know him through Megan’s blog and many felt they knew him long before he was even born. Sometimes the smallest feet leave the biggest footprints in this world and Cohen has left a lasting impression on us all; he was truly an amazing little boy. His parents want to thank all of his supporters, doctors, nurses and prayer warriors for their care, concern, support and prayers. Cohen is survived by his parents: Megan & Brent Marshall; Grandparents; Aunts; Uncles; and countless cousins, family and friends. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Cohen Marshall Memorial Trust.</div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767337097118464205noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464645848092672102.post-9343550327581732462010-06-27T18:25:00.000-07:002010-06-27T18:25:35.646-07:00Cohen's Memorial<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> Let love and faithfulness never leave you;<br />

One of his MANY friends contacted me today wanting to help. I was touched by her kindness and generosity. This is a wonderful opportunity to help out Megan & Brent, I hope that you will all take a moment to have a look and participate, if you feel so inclined!<br />
<br />
I was contacted by Tahnie, a stylist for Stella & Dot. She has experienced the hardship of mounting hospital bills and felt compelled to offer up some assistance. She is offering 30% of sales from her Stella & Dot website from NOW until July 6th. The money raised will be donated to the <i>Baby Cohen Marshall Special Needs Trust.</i> You can learn more about Cohen's Trust <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://sendlovetocohen.blogspot.com/p/send-love-to-cohen-foundation.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Below is a note from Tahnie. There are instructions on how to participate in the fundraiser. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for your continuing prayers and support for M&B. They are very grateful to have so much love surrounding them!<br />

<i>Like many of you out there, I am captivated by Cohen's story. I personally went through a high risk pregnancy last year and I wanted to do something for the Marshall family. I will be donating 30% of my profits directly to the Marshall family through a fundraiser on my Stella & Dot website from today, June 21st, to July 6th.<br />
<br />
To order, simply go to my website <a href="http://stelladot.com/tahnie" onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this),
"cc664fuIA1D9z8Y7az1n3qtAeRw", event);" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://stelladot.com/tahni<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>e</a> and in the upper right hand corner of your screen it will say, "Can't make it to the trunk show? Find your hostess" Click on the 'find your hostess' link, a window will pop up and you will need to put in Cohen Marshall. Cohen as the first name, Marshall as the last. Next click the 'search' button. Click on Cohen's name under select your host, it will say the party date and time is June 21st at 2:00 and give Tulsa, OK as the party location even though this fundraiser is online. After you click Cohen's name it will say, "Thank you for your interest in my Party, feel free to shop around and place an order!" Click continue and shop away!<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, please contact me through twitter @sweetblueair.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much!<br />
