There is nothing worse in this world than losing a child. I am so sorry. Unfortunately, I know what its like to lose a child at such a young age. My hopes and prayers are with you. I remember after losing my son, this man that also lost his son told me to try and remember that he is still here with me in spirit and there will be times when I will just know that he is with me. And, I never forgot those words, because they are true. There are times when I know he is here with me, it is as if I can feel his presence all around me and I am comforted by those moments, as you too will be comforted by the same moments when you will know that your daughter is with you. People will tell you that time heals all wounds, but there are some things that time will never heal. All I can tell you is that with time, you will learn to cope better and you will start to be able to remember her and smile instead of always crying...

This may be the hardest thing you'll ever have to go through, but use the love of your family and friends to keep you going, to find the light when you think there is none, and to find peace when you are ready. Know that I am thinking of you and your family. Aly was a beautiful soul with a beautiful smile. I loved her gentle teasing nature and that daily plea of "Can I have a dollar for a cookie?" at the end of the day. You and Randy are great parents.
