Oliver's Funeral Information

It's been almost 5 days since Oliver died. This photo was taken about a week before. My friends flew a photographer friend in to take photos and document our final days. We did the same with Waverly and those photos are some of the most special ones we have.

We wanted to let you know that Oliver's funeral will be held on Saturday December 15th at 11:00 am. It will be held at the Smith Center of McLean Bible Church in Vienna.

The idea to get the photographer was so wonderful. Tucking it away for later. Hoping today is another day you can get through.

You don't know me, but we have friends in common and I have quietly followed your journey for years and have prayed for you and your children. I've never known what to say, but at this moment, I just wanted to let you know that my heart is broken for you and your husband, and for the rest of your family. Your children were so beautiful and your strength as their mother and their advocate simply amazed me. My heart hurts for you, but I also rejoice in knowing those two precious kids are singing and dancing together in Heaven. We'll continue to pray for you, though, as you grieve and learn how to live in this new normal.
What a very special photo. So very peaceful and full of love.

Shannon, I just heard today that you lost your beautiful boy, Oliver. I have read your blog on and off since I met you here at NIH and I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I know that God is with Oliver and with you and your husband. Sincerely, Victoria Willits
I've been a quiet follower for years since a friend asked for prayers for your family after Wavey and Oliver's diagnosis. I am heartbroken for your loss. You and Matt have been amazing parents to your sweet children. Praying God's arms to wrap you in peace during this very difficult time. Marissa Hofstetter

I too have been following your family through the years and praying for all of you. I am thinking of you today as you prepare to honor your baby tomorrow. I took comfort in knowing that Oliver passed on the same day that you honored Waverly just three years ago. I am sorry that you and your husband have to experience the loss of not one but two children but am grateful that you got to be the parents of two wonderful children who had amazing parents to take care of them.
