Our sweet son, Simon Wesley Hemmings, passed from my womb into the loving arms of Jesus around 5:16 pm on Wednesday, January 22, and his lifeless but beautiful body was delivered at 5:58 am on Thursday, January 23. His perfect little body that was fearfully and wonderfully made by his Heavenly Father weighed 9lbs. 6.4oz and was 21 3/4 in. long. Though now our hearts and our arms ache from the emptiness that was to be filled by our first born son, we rejoice and thank God for the 10 months He blessed us with getting to know our sweet Simon in the womb. And we are so thankful that we were able to hold his perfect little body in our arms, even if just for a little while. He had my nose, Peter~s eyes, a beautiful head of wavy, dark brown hair, and the most kissable little chubby cheeks. Surrounded by the love of our family and friends, we said good-bye to our long awaited gift. It~s hard to understand how this can be a good thing, but we know that God only does what is best for His children. Now we trust. And pray for peace. And we wait to see how God uses the short life of our precious son to bring glory to Himself. May HIS name be lifted high.
Left to cherish Simon’s memory are his loving parents Peter and Gina (Van Der Molen) Hemmings, Ventura, Iowa; maternal grandfather Roger “Papa” Van Der Molen, Pella, Iowa and paternal grandparents Roger and Beth Hemmings, Ottumwa, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother Jean “Meema” Van Der Molen.
