Precious Knute,
I was so excited to have you here with us but that was not to be. I only got to hold you for a little while in the hospital and I loved you so. It hurt me to give you up but God knows what is best so I will wait to see you in Heaven.
Love from your grandma Donna

Knute- It's been almost a year since you became a part of our lives and left us at the same time. I've spent so much time thinking of you and your family, in this year and want you all to know how much I love and care about the family. I'm sure you are keeping the angels in heaven busy until the rest of us can join you. Help God to give your mommy and daddy the strength they need to keep from missing you so much. Remember even though you are not here physically you have touched our hearts and...

My Dearest Knute,
There are not enough words to fully express my feelings for you. I was looking forward to the feel of your tiny grip on my finger and hearing your crys when you were born. I miss you very much. I think of you often and wonder what you would have been like as a child growing older. Rest easy now and know that I love you now and always.
Love you,
Dad

My precious baby Knute, your time with me was so short, but I loved you more than words can say. I was so excited about your arrival into this world and having you in our family. God just had different plans and I know you are safe and happy in his loving care. You were truly God's child. I miss you and look forward to meeting you when we are all together with Jesus in heaven. Much love~Mommy

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry Knute never got to meet his brothers and sister and all of his cousins. And most of all I am sorry he never got to meet his parents who loved him very much and are both very special people. See you someday in heaven little guy.
