God bless you and be with you while you begin your journey through life without your child. I want you to know that it will be the hardest thing in life you will ever endure. Please remember that others have been there and are surviving, you can too...we all do with each others help. God bless your little angel.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I lost my son at 11 weeks of age & it breaks my heart every time I see another parent having to go through this. If I may be of any help, please let me know.
