As a long time friend of Parker's grandparents, Mike and Diane, I am overwhelmed by the pain, loss and suffering of the entire family. Babies are not supposed to die. They say that in God's rose garden in heaven, he needs rose buds too. There is nothing we can say here to ease your sorrow. Just know that my prayers are with you all and my heart goes out to you. I love you Diane. You know where to find me. Love, Tracy
