Porter Jackson was born at 4:08 a.m. on September 7, 2008. For those who may not have heard, he was "called home to that God who gave him life." Our sorrow is unspeakable and our longing unquenchable, but we have peace. Faith and Family have buoyed us. We met him and held him and bid him reluctant goodbyes. As we prepare to bury him we ask for your prayers and at the same time offer our sincerest gratitude for love already expressed. Thank you everyone!
And Porter . . . we miss you!!!

My heart aches for what you and your family are going through, you are in our prayers constantly and please don't hesitate to call for anything, anything at all!

Blue & Kelly, you two are our heroes. Thank you for your amazing examples of strength & faith. These 2 scriptures have such wonderful promises:
Mosiah 24:14 - "...ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions." You two are definitely "His people."
Alma 36:3 - "...whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."
Why you had to go through this tells me that the Lord needs you to be extraordinarily strong for a great calling. Your examples have already changed several lives. You two will be giants in the Lord's work!
Dear Kelly & Blue,
We are so sorry for your loss and the pain you are going through. We want you to know that we are thinking of you often and you are always in our prayers. We are here to support you in any way you need. We love you.
Love, Kristi & Cody Boretsky

I'm praying for your family. So sorry this happened.
Kelly and Blue,
Words can't possibly express what it's like to lose a child. Please know that I am so, so sorry and although things seem unbearable at the moment, the pain does get easier. I am thinking of you and Josh and I are keeping you in our prayers. I would love to come visit when you are ready. May the Lord wrap you ever so tightly in his loving arms and may you know that even through our darkest hours and through experiences we don't quite comprehend or fully ever understand, there is a divine purpose behind all things.
love,
Cortney Shurtz
Our Love and Prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
Hi Kelly & Blue,
Kelly, your mom sent my mother an e-mail yesterday about your sweet little son. I am so sorry. There are no words. I'd like to think Porter's "Aunt Beka" has one more little one to love until you have the joy of holding your son in your arms again. On behalf of all the Stewart's and Sterner's, we love you. You will always be special to us. Love, Jennifer
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers!
Blue and Kelly,
My heart breaks for you! I know your relationship with your savior is amazing which will carry you through this rough time. Please know that our love and prayers are with you.
