No flowers- we're directing folks to Hospice of Michigan and the Ronald McDonald House Charities if you want to help other people like us in Isaiah's name.

Having only just met, we were not fortunate to have known Isaiah very long, but are glad he touched our lives ever so briefly. His cute smiley face will live on in our memory.

my heart goes out to you and your family. saying i'm sorry simply isn't enough, and i know that, but those are the only words i am left with. my most sincere sympathies, i've lit candles to guide your angel's path.
My prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing your faith with so many of us. Isaiah touched so many lives in his short time on this earth. He will continue to touch lives from his home with Jesus.

There is now another angel in heaven, who is able to run fast, ride his bike, all the while pain free. He deeply touched my heart, and I am so lucky to have known him. And you all.
Peace and love.

Isaiah 41:13
"For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear, I will help you"
May He hold you all tightly in His arms now.
...until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
-always-...

Healing love and energies are sent to your family this night. Know that this spirit lies in happiness and peace.
Through tears I say "peace be to all of you" he is in the Lord's hands and resting comfortably. Please take care of yourselves.
We love you, and are holding you in our thoughts and prayers. May you have glimpses of the peace and comfort that Isaiah now knows. jjn
I know of your journey because of my son and daughter-in-law; we have many paths that cross though we have never met. I have watched your story, read of your journey and prayed fervently for you all and admired your strength, your faith and your love of family and God. It pains me to see the trials you are now encountering - to lose a child is an unspeakable pain that no one should have to endure. But God must know that you have the faith and courage to endure. HE will carry your through this difficult time. You and your family are all special in His eyes. God loves all children and Isaiah must be extraordinary to have been chosen.
May God bless you all and may you find peace. Love to you all and know that your family is in my prayers.
Our prayers are with you all. May you have peace. Julie and Paul
we have never met but my heart goes out to you. you will be in our prayers. - neighbors

Friends of Jon at YouthNoise send all of you our love.
May the coming days be gentle. We found a tiny brush rabbit today, injured and struggling. We thought of all of you and the beautiful fragile spirit of young life that is warm and vital and brave and that you have cradled.
With love.
May love and peace be with your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
You have been in our prayers and will continue to be. Know that so many stand with you in love. Your lives have been an inspiration to us. Jack & Cindy Bender
And so it was that a little spirit came into the world to teach us so much. Thank you for sharing your pain, your sorrow, your joy, your wisdom and your beautiful gifts of writing. Every time I hear a reading or quote from the book of Isaiah, I shall send up a prayer of gratitude for his life. We love you and yours. Sandy
God Bless You All !! May you now come to some well desrived rest as we know that Isaiah is now resting in Gods hands.
Love & Peace, Bob & Barb Dodde

Lots and lots of love to you guys. There really aren't words to convey what we feel for you at this time. Please know that you all have been in our thoughts this week.
We wish you much love and peace,

It is hard to sort out all the emotions that this weekend brought about -- but the strongest are deep sorrow for the three of you who have lost the most, and overwhelming joy for the spirit of a little boy who now knows no limits. I love you guys. Carin
Dear Joe, Jen and Joey,
Thank you all for sharing your journey with us. You have faced this struggle with strength, maturity, hope, faith--truly divine grace. Late Sunday afternoon, while driing in my car, I had a clear image in my mind of Jesus kneeling down with his arms stretched out wide and Isaiah running to him. I'm sure it was so!
Jim Easterling
my most heartfelt condolences to the entire armstrongvoss family.
much love,

Dear Joe and Family,
I am incredibly sorry to hear about Isaiah. It's truly amazing to read how your faith and yes, hope continue to carry you all on. God bless you all.
Tom Norton
Joe and Jen,
I am so sad and yet I know that what I am feeling pales greatly in comparison to all you are experiencing. I wish the sorrow that I am feeling would mean that yours would be lessened. I take comfort, though, in the fact that Isaiah is worth every bit of the pain we are all feeling. I'm praying every day that you will find comfort and peace and that the love you have for Isaiah, Joey and each other will sustain you.
Love, Kim Mitchell
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Brecken, Sean & Owen
Hi. I'm Steven Thaman's stepdaughter, and I just heard about Isaiah's passing. He would've grown up to be an amazing person. He's in a better place now, but I hate to see someone so young leave the world so early. I was thinking of him and the family during your all's journey and you will continue to be in my thoughts. Thank you for letting the world know about your amazing son. The best of wishes to you all.
