Little baby Jubilee is gone but certainly not forgotten, forever immortalized in a moving photo Tweeted by her heartbroken family.

The deeply religious Duggar family held a memorial service Wednesday for the baby that Michelle Duggar tragically miscarried, and family members joined in prayers for the child.

Named Jubilee Shalom Duggar, Michelle and Jim Bob announced the sad news on December 8 that the pregnancy was not continuing as the baby had tragically passed away, and Michelle had a miscarriage days later.

Amy Duggar, a cousin who frequently appears on their hit TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Tweeted a picture of Michelle holding the tiny hand of baby Jubilee and wrote “RIP precious Jubilee Shalom Duggar! Can't wait to meet you someday, thank you Lord for giving our family peace.”

Michelle was five months pregnant when she miscarried what would have been the Duggar’s 20th child.

Jim Bob spoke lovingly of the child that they lost

“We won’t be able to see this child’s life and the phases that we’ve seen for our other children, but we know we will see this child in heaven one day. We are thankful for each child, and we are blessed to have the children we have here and the ones we will meet someday in heaven.”

Josie celebrated her second birthday on December 10.

Such a wonderful family had their child taken away from them. You may say it doesn't matter because they have 19 more; But the loss of a child will always hurt. They are not a burden to anyone. My deepest prayers and condolences to the family.

The things I've seen on this page fill me with great sorrow. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It doesn't matter how many children they have, a child's life was lost. And we should not fill her memory with hatred for little Jubilee, or her family.

This photo captures the depth of a mother's love for a child. Very poignant and artistically done. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful tribute. Prayers, love and condolences to the Duggars. (Canada)

They are beyond trash. Tweeting memorials? Disgusting and tasteless. And the reason there is so little compassion for their loss is THEY directly are responsible for this child's death. Humans don't have litters!

Ilovegossip< i think people are upset, because they feel like the Duggars are being irresponsible. Their last child has to suffer from health problems and now they caused this baby death by their actions.

Caused death by their actions? What actions are you referring to? Non use of birth control? Is that what you are saying? They don't believe in birth control. It's their choice. Are you blaming all parents for their miscarriages?

Sooo, is she pregnant again yet? what are you waiting for Jim Bob? Or are you giving Michelle some time off from baby making to make her own soap and scrub the floors with it before you knock her up again?

FYI: Fetus: After 2 months, face and limbs are formed. After 3 months, limbs are fully formed, and sex can be determined. After 4 months, Mother can feel movement, eyebrows/lashes are formed. After 5 months, hair on head.

Wow... what happened to compassion when it comes to death? People can be so cruel. Let them grieve in their own way.
