Beautiful tributes to NieNie. Thank you for sharing them.
I have been trying to comment for days, I'm so glad I am now able.
Please include a fresh link to my Etsy account, as the other one goes to "Sold Out". (Of course, I urge everyone to contribute to one of the other funds set up if they are so inclined!) The link is http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5254063
My daughter and I plan to update with some sweet bracelets this evening, too.
But most of all, I would like to express my sorrow, and the absolute uplifting I feel from this community of bloggers, friends, and your own family. I have never met Stephanie, only enjoyed her from afar. :) I am praying all day. Be blessed, sweet family. -Shawn
Courtney, please email me when you get a chance, no rush.
It's wonderful to see such support in time of need. This is truly what the Savior would do.
When my friend was in the hospital, we went to Target and got a little speaker kit (so mini and cute) that you could hook up to your ipod. It was so wonderful for her to hear the songs she personally loved and we added uplifting songs to her ipod every few days. You've probably already thought of that, but she said it was nice to listen to her music and not the "lovely" elevator stuff.
Take care in all you do.

Thanks for sharing the links. I hate to ask anything of you right now, but would it be possible to post the basic details of the balloon launch for the maybe three people like me who (Gasp!) don't have a facebook account?

Thanks you for sharing. Godo thing you are members of The Church. Heavenly Father sure knows what he is doing. Much Love. Keep us updated.
Thanks anon!
I'm so sorry to hear about Stephanie and Christian. She's obviously so loved from all of the outpouring of support for her and her family.
Their family is in our prayers.

Dear Clark Family,
I love you dearly and my prayers and the prayers of the entire Warner family are with you all. It is difficult to imagine this all happening so such an amazing family. I admire the incredible faith courage and support you are displaying so valiantly.
I am now working here in Mesa for ANASAZI Foundation. One of our trailwalkers (the name of those who work with the children out in the wilderness) has been going through such a difficult time...his name is Clayton Kinneard...it was his father who was in that plane with Stephanie and Christian! I love you all dearly. I pray for you and and the Kinneards. The Lord does have a plan...as difficult as it is to understand sometimes. Peace be with you. Our family's prayers are with you.
Love,
Katie
Maybe we need to also pray for strength for your family to be able to cope with and keep straight all the good lovin' that's pouring in, and will for a long, long time!
Thanks, as always, C Jane, for keeping us updated.
And thanks, Anonymous, from another non-Facebook blogger.
The donation link via paypal is not working. Just wanted you to know. I'm anxious to donate via paypal so I'll check back daily. I read NieNie weekly & find her to be an inspirational mother and wife. My heart goes out to the entire family.
jen merz (& others) - this is steph's bro in-law vance checketts. try clicking on the text "how to help the nielson's." there's something funky about browser versions that is making the button disappear sometimes. if that doesn't work you can just "send money" via paypal.com to nieniefund@gmail.com. thanks!
Thanks for sharing the tributes and for all the updates. And for your humor - that's what we love about all you Clarks!
Thanks for keeping us updated. We pray for this sweet family every day!! We love your family!! Jon & Kirstin Lindsay(Katy's brother & sis. in law)
I have been reading Stephanie's blog for about a year now. She is truly an inspiration for young women. I can only hope to be half the mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend that she has been. Until then, I will continue to treat my students with the care, patience, and optimism that she showed through her writing and photos.
I will continue to pray for Stephanie, Christian, the children, and your family in the weeks and months ahead. You are not alone. There are thousands that are thinking of you. Thank you for your updates.
Although I've never met Stephanie or any of your family, I've always been so impressed with her and her talents and style. My thoughts have been consumed with the pain that her and her husband are going through right now. Thank you for keeping all of us who are faithful blog readers updated. We do care about her and her family. It is these hard times that really make you focus on your foundation...on the Atonement. And the knowledge that we have of the Plan of Salvation.
I pray that you all will be strengthened during this hard time and that she and her husband heal as quickly and painlessly as possible.
My choir students at Independence HS are very concerned and shed tears with me. You have their love and support. Amye (mom of Sarah and Emily)
These tributes are lovely. I am so moved by your family's response to this tragedy. You are all such wonderful people and I feel so sad that you have this to endure. I wish I knew you all in person. I pray for Stephanie and Christian and your family all through the day.
My thoughts and prayers are with your dear family.
I just read of this on someone else's blog and just wanted to pop in and add my love and encouragement.
I am so grateful for the gospel, for an eternal perspective. I pray the spirit continues to be with you and bless you and your family.
I am checking your blog two or three times a day because I feel for your family. I look forward to hearing how stephanie and christian are doing as well as their children. i have shared this story with everyone because my heart has been so heavy. my children and i plan to take part of the balloon release on saturday...great idea!
We will include them in our prayers.
Praying, and praying, and praying...
