Kari, I've been wanting to write something for days, but it has been so hard to put something into words. I just wanted to say I am so sorry. He is so adorable and will always be...

February 13, 2012

Even though we have never met, I pray for you and your family during this most difficult time. What a darling little guy. You must be very special people...Jesus chose you to be Axel's parents, even though it was all too short. He saw you would be the perfcet fit for him, and may you find comfort in knowing you will reunite with Axel again one day.

Keep your faith, lean on one another...

God bless all of you,
