Leslie-Doug:
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. The kids and I are thinking of you guys and praying that God brings you comfort during this time.

Doug & Leslie, it is with sadness that I send both of you our condolences. This child has touched the lives of many friends in your circle. To lose a child is something that the strongest person cannot even imagine. Just know that this child was loved by many and God welcomed her into his fold. There are reasons of which we will never know but, in time, maybe we can accept His will. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of trial. Nothing we or anyone can say will take away the loss at this point in time. We are thinking of you - Barb & Don Zieba
