Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your husband and your mom and dad. There is nothing I can say to take away the sadness that you have in your heart but please remember that you now have a precious little angel in heaven watching over you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Rick & Amy~ I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful little Rena. Nothing is more painful than to lose a child. We too lost our little girl Hannah at the age of 3 months to SIDS. My heart goes out to you both - no parent should have to go thru this. Please stay strong and know that you are not alone. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Hugs & prayers to you both, Susan & Randy Kirchner

Amy and family, I have thought of you so many times over the course of the last few days. My heart aches for you as you try and find a "new normal" in everyday life without your little baby girl. It doesn't seem like the world should continue and the little things are so difficult to do. Like Susan Kirchner wrote above, know that you are NOT alone. Lean on your family and friends to help you through this awful time. I'm praying for you. Take care of yourselves.

Jennifer Weinandt (ASHH RN)


Amy and family, I know there are no words that can make this horrible pain any easier.

You have been, and will continue to be in John and I's thoughts and prayers. May the Lord give you and your family comfort during this time.
