Jonah would have been 3 years old today. We think about him often and can't wait to see him again in heaven. We wonder how old he will be there and what he will look like. His little brother Tait will get to meet him some day. We miss him so much, but we know that heaven is so glorious and wonderful that he is in complete joy there with Jesus.
Isa 64:4 "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
In Him, Amy

2 Years ago...
It's been 2 years since the night we were able to hold you in our arms and kiss you good-bye. I just want to write and say we love you and miss you. We are now able to hold your baby brother, Tait Josiah Goodman who is 6 mths. old. He looks very much like you with those cute chubby cheeks and sweet smile. You have touched our lives, sweet Jonah and you are in our hearts and on our minds so very often. We love you and know that we will meet you again one day in heaven. All my love, Nana... and Papa too!

Jonah's Birthday
Dear Sweet Jonah Scott,
You would be 2 years old today. I can imagine you running, laughing and playing with all of your cousins. I know you are healthy and whole in heaven with the Lord, and that gives me great comfort. We now have your sweet brother Tait Josiah here with us and we are all praying that he will stay and continue to get stronger and be able to go home with your loving parents. We will never forget you Sweet Jonah Scott, and you have made heaven even sweeter by your presence there. We love you and can't wait to see you again. Love, Nana

Thank you family and friends
Friends and Family,
We don't know how to thank you all enough for the love and support you have all shown us. We are heartbroken for the loss of our precious son, Jonah, and we will miss him until we are reunited in heaven. However, we have a hope that does not disappoint and we know we will see him again. This has been the hardest time in our lives, but God has taught us so much about His love and we are so thankful that He gave us Jonah for those wonderful five months. This may seem like crazy talk to some, but then again so is the gospel: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:8. We believe Jonah was sent to us for a purpose and we believe that purpose is ultimately so that more people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Isaiah 53:6 and Romans 5:8-10: "But God comendeth His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Thank you all again for loving us and for loving our son, Jonah. We pray we can be used by God to bless you in the future as much as you have all blessed us. 2 Corinthians 5:15
Phil. 1:3
In Him, Scott and Amy Goodman

Dear friends and family,
As many of you have made it a part of your day to check in on Jonah's condition, I have made it a part of mine to check in on your words of encouragement and prayers for Jonah, Scott and Amy. I also wanted to feel close to them by viewing the pictures when we couldn't be with them. I find myself going to the blog to check in, and of course, it breaks my heart to see the pictures, now that we will no longer be able to see Jonah in this life. But there is still comfort in viewing and remembering his short, but oh so sweet and important 5 months and 1 week of life. Our family will never be the same, and Jonah will always be a part of us until the day that we go to see him in Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is so much comfort for me to know that sweet Jonah will be there with Jesus to welcome me one day.
The memorial service was beautiful with a slideshow of Jonah and his loving parents. Our son, Scott was able to share with everyone the love of God and do it with God's strength. I know that God's presence of love and hope was felt by all. I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU all so much for these past 5 months of love and support sent to the Goodman/West families. We could not have felt so hopeful and strong without your support, and someday we will understand it all more clearly.
As I was reading today I came across these verses in 2nd Corinthians 1:4:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
And in John 14:1-2
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Love in Him, Nancy
