Joseph Smith talked to Parents who lose children in death will receive them in the resurrection just as they laid them down.
At the funeral of two-year-old Marian Lyon, the Prophet said:
“We have again the warning voice sounded in our midst, which shows the
uncertainty of human life; and in my leisure moments I have meditated
upon the subject, and asked the question, why it is that infants,
innocent children, are taken away from us, especially those that seem to
be the most intelligent and interesting. The strongest reasons that
present themselves to my mind are these:
This world is a very wicked
world; and it … grows more wicked and corrupt. … The Lord takes many
away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the
sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely,
to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning
we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall
soon have them again. …
“… The only difference between the old and young dying is, one lives
longer in heaven and eternal light and glory than the other, and is
freed a little sooner from this miserable, wicked world. Notwithstanding
all this glory, we for a moment lose sight of it, and mourn the loss,
but we do not mourn as those without hope.”
“A question may be asked—‘Will mothers have their children in
eternity?’
Yes! Yes! Mothers, you shall have your children; for they
shall have eternal life, for their debt is paid.”
“Children … must rise just as they died; we can there hail our lovely
infants with the same glory—the same loveliness in the celestial
glory.”
President Joseph F. Smith, the sixth President of the Church, reported:
“Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid
away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and,
pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ‘You will
have the joy, the pleasure and satisfaction of nurturing this child,
after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its
spirit.’ …
“In 1854, I met with my aunt [Agnes Smith], the wife of my uncle, Don
Carlos Smith, who was the mother of that little girl [Sophronia] that
Joseph Smith, the Prophet, was speaking about, when he told the mother
that she should have the joy, the pleasure, and the satisfaction of
rearing that child, after the resurrection, until it reached the full
stature of its spirit; and that it would be a far greater joy than she
could possibly have in mortality, because she would be free from the
sorrow and fear and disabilities of mortal life, and she would know more
than she could know in this life. I met that widow, the mother of that
child, and she told me this circumstance and bore testimony to me that
this was what the Prophet Joseph Smith said when he was speaking at the
funeral of her little daughter.”
Mary Isabella Horne and Leonora Cannon Taylor each lost a young
child in death. Sister Horne recalled that the Prophet Joseph Smith gave
the two sisters these words of comfort: “He told us that we should
receive those children in the morning of the resurrection just as we
laid them down, in purity and innocence, and we should nourish and care
for them as their mothers. He said that children would be raised in the
resurrection just as they were laid down, and that they would obtain all
the intelligence necessary to occupy thrones, principalities and
powers.”
I was missing my little angel today. I was sitting in church listening to the Missionaries talk about the trials that we go through. I was thinking about my little angel and how I wish she could be with us. We than sang Come, Come Ye Saints...
And should we die before our journey’s through,
Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too

I started to cry yes full on cry... I had to wipe away my tears. I had a wonderful feeling come over me. My daughter doesn't have to live through the stress and trials of what is going to come. Instead she gets to greet me and I will than to get to raise her free from sorrow and fear of our mortal life. I love her so much and I just miss her.
