Allyson Belle Hensley 2/27/09-6/11/10
Allyson Belle Hensley returned to her Heavenly Father on Friday June 11, 2010 @ 3:20 p.m. in the PICU unit of Primary Children's Medical Center. Tuesday June 8th she suffered a cardiac arrest that gave her sever brain damage and was in a coma. Josh and I were hoping for a Miracle. We decided that even if she woke up she would be a vegetable and would not have lived very long. On Friday we decided to take her off life support and let her go. She passed peacefully surrounded by loving family @ 3:20 pm. We Love you so much Ally. You will be missed by all who knew you. Keep Smiling on. I am grateful for the time I had with you. I will miss your wonderful smiles in the morning.

A friend of mine sent me your story on facebook. I am a member of the church here in Cincinnati Ohio. My heart went out to you and your husband by the loss of your daughter for I have two little ones also. I just want you to know that I have prayed ever night for you and your husband. I hope you don't mind that I put this comment on your blog, I don't ever stalk anyones blogs I don't know. I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you. From one mother to another, I will keep sending prayers your way. One of my favorite scriptures that I memorized before I went on my mission was Joshua 1:9, "Have not I commanded thee, Be strong and of a good courage, Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee, withersoever thou goest." You are one of the most amazing, faithful mothers I have ever "read" about.
Melanie and Josh,
We were so devastated to hear that Ally passed away! We were so happy that you were able to bring your little angel home for a while, though. We are so sorry you have to endure the pain of losing another child, we will be thinking of you and praying for your family. We love you and will never forget the kindness you showed us.

Oh Melanie/Josh we are praying so hard for you. We love you guys, hang in there.
I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, and you have had to go through it twice. While I can't help but feel that this is outrageously unfair, it also tells me that Heavenly Father has some major faith in you- He knows that you are strong enough to handle this, and he trusted you enough to share two of his most precious daughters with you. Those girls were too precious, perfect and pure for this world, but they still needed to obtain physical bodies in order to become celestial beings. You gave that to them, Melanie. You gave them that chance and I know for a fact that they will call your name blessed for eternity. I am amazed by your strength and honored to know you. If you need anything, anything at all, PLEASE know that I am here, ready and waiting to help you in any way I can. I love you!
I'm a friend of Bubba and Jordan's. I'm in town visiting my family, and my Mom cut out Ally's obituary today.. We were all touched, she's such a beautiful little girl and your words were perfect. I stumbled upon your blog this afternoon for the first time, and just wanted you to know you are loved! May the Lord be with your family at this time. May you feel peace and joy again in the days to come.
Josh and Melanie, we are thinking of you so much. We get emotional thinking of your loss and understand that words can't make it better. We are praying for your whole family and are here to support you. I'll miss your sweet little Ally. She is such a precious little girl. We love you
My heart sank when I heard the news. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Ally was an absolute doll. We will be thinking of you and praying for you during this very difficult time. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you!
Melanie and Josh, Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. Ally was such a sweet, beautiful girl. Seeing her always put a smile on my face. May the Lord comfort you at this difficult time.
Melanie, the funeral was beautiful. Ally's uncles did an amazing job, the poem by Ally's aunt I thought did an amazing job of putting Ally's life and mission in perspective. Thank you for sharing this time. You are loved and have many friends don't forget that.
