I also had a trisomy 13 baby this year. She lived 105 days. We also live in Richmond and Noah's children helped our family as well. We heard about your family, through another. If the time seems right, please feel free to contact our family...

Christi and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I've read every entry in your journal and didn't know how you managed to write every night after such a full day. You have inspired me and so many others with Ella's story, one I will always remember. With deepest sympathy, love and prayers.

Christi and family,
A friend from Hermitage shared your loss with me today. My heart and thoughts are with you all. I have 4 children, 3 amazing boys and one beautiful daughter. Pauline, was 13 when she died on 4/8/07. The aching loss of a child runs deep. My prayer is for you all to remain united in love and support for one another as you grieve and encourage one another to live in memories of joy.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The love with which you surrounded your baby has inspired me and helped me see clearly Love's power.
Ella will always rest gently on my mind. There is no point in thinking about what could have been, when what WAS, was so great. I pray for peace for your family.
Love, Carole Arno (friend of Doris and Robert)
