Jennifer and Jon,
I just have no words. I can't even imagine what you two are going through, but you two have proved how strong you are. I can't believe our Lily is gone. She will never be forgotten. She was loved by so many and always will be loved. Lily Grace will remain with us always and forever. We are all here for you always and forever and I don't know how, but we will somehow, someway all get through this. They say time heals everything. Lily Grace is now our angel.
Love,
Mary, Chad, Abby and Ashley
