Dear Deb,



Today you were in my prayers and thoughts. I will always remember your little, precious Quinn. He is in my heart, although I never met him in real life. I know he lifted you up, made you a more loving woman as you already were. You are very special, Deb and I think your son came here to tell you that. You can be sure that you are famous and loved all over the world.



No one can fix that hole in your body, the hopeless and deep grieve you must feel from time to time. But remember that you are never alone. We are here with you and if you need one of us: let us know.



Warmly and with deep respect,

There aren't the right words to say, but I want you to know, as I prepare to attempt birth again, I take Quinn's birth, life and death with me. I feel I have another angel to assist me now. I have learned so much from you and Quinn and your family. He has touched so many lives, and so have you. We love you and hold you up in prayers.

To Quinn's special family here on Earth --



My heart filled with undescribable grief and tears of sorrow filled my eyes when I read Debra's email to the ICAN list about Quinn's passing.



Sadly, my heart has felt this before with my own daughter's death as well as sharing the grief of other families. Quinn, was one of the babies that was held very close in my heart. I will always be grateful that I was able to get to know him through Debra's postings to the ICAN lists.



I will always remember him as the Mighty Quinn -- the beautiful strong baby with an amazing family. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Please continue to share your journey with us. And please continue to let us surround you in whatever you need. Lean on those that love and support you.



I will be holding all of you close in my heart and remembering you in my prayers.



Love and belief,

Tami

Dear Debra and family,



Your courage and strength have inspired us all on the ICAN list. We share your grief in Quinn's passing just as we have shared each grief and joy in his life with you. Quinn has touched many hearts and we are so sad that his time on earth was short.



Debra, remember that the lessons you have learned from the "Healing Spiral" will also serve you well in this "Grieving Spiral". You are a strong mama bear and Quinn couldn't have asked for a better family to be born into.



All my love,



Krista

Dear Deb and family; I can truely say with all my heart one of the most awesome days of my life was when you brought Quinn to work so I could see him and hold him....What a wonderful experience I truely do cherish that memory! He was one of the most beautiful little boys with those big ice blue eyes and blonde wispy hair,oh how I could have held and cuddled with him for hours and I am very jealous that Jesus gets that special privilige now. Quinn is one of the luckiest babies I have ever known because of the love and devotion he has from his mama and family. If any one ever has a question about if God knows what he is doing the answer is YES He gave Quinn to you as his family. Please know that you are in my prayers. God Bless you all.

Dear Kelly, Debra, Haley and all who knew little Quinn,

I only "met" you through kelly's blog just last week and I so enjoyed becoming acquainted with your beautiful Quinn. We had some vague connections through NICU experiences and g tube feedings. I can't begin to express my genuine sympathy for you guys. My heart aches for you and I have been praying several times a day for you guys since hearing about sweet Quinn.

I am so sorry for your loss of such a bright, shining star.

Sincerely,

Laura

My Dear Haley, Deb & Kelly,



My heart holds so much love for cherubic Quinn, that I felt a physical twinge of pain when I spoke to you, Kelly, knowing the love I hold for my own children, imagining the sorrow felt in your hearts. My 'work' hours spent snuggling Quinn were heaven - those days will never pass from memory. To be permitted to enter into your unique and loving family was truly an honor; thank you for that priviledge and for entrusting baby Quinn's care to me.

My prayers, my heart, are with you.



With love & admiration of your family -

Nurse Angie

Dear Debra,Kelly and Haley,

You all have been such an inspiration to myself and other's. You have shown such courage and strength during the time I've known you all. My little precious Quinney. I loved being one of his nurse's and taking care of him. He had the most beautiful blue eyes. He always made my days better, especially when he cooed at me. I loved watching him grow. I will forever miss him. Please keep in touch and thank you for letting me into your lives.

Again, I am so very very sorry for all three of you. It's a large consolation that both of the parents, and the daughter, have great sets of grandparents coming in to help you all cope with what is, finally, an almost uncopeable tragedy. Please try to remember the good times, and how you all made his brief existence as pain free as possible, and as loving as anyone could hope for.
