Dear Family,
I was Williams' second nurse to take care of him after his birth. I know how very much you all loved him and it showed by your frequent visits at his bedside. Not only were you blessed by his presence, but he was blessed by yours with every touch that you gave him. Even though I know you will truly miss him, he has certainly made an impact on my life and the life of his many nurses and doctors in the NICU. May God bless you and keep you.

I hope that you will find peace in knowing that every life, no matter how small, has such a significant purpose in this life. My prayers to your entire family during this very difficult time.
