Dear Herrmann Family: My deepest sympathies and my heart goes out to all of you. I did not know your precious angel but I do know the intense grief that all of you are experiencing. I lost my "angel" almost 5 years ago. I am on the long road to healing that you have just started your journey on. I wish to offer a shoulder to lean on in these dark times you will face ahead. There are so many of us and we need to support eachother. It may seem like life will never be the same, it will be different and with healing you will emerge anew with faith in God and the people he is sending just for you. We are here waiting to be here for you. You are never alone. Heb. 13:5. I will never leave you or forsake you. TRUST.

January 31, 2010

Dearest Shelby,
Your "Mothers Love" never left her heart...even though your birth was a heartfelt start. Shes watched over you
as any mother would...hoping and praying to do what she could. She saw your laughter, she saw your tears...her love for you gave you 16 years. Your road was a tough one she could plainly see, so she opened her arms and said "come to me". So now you'll rest peacefully like never before, as the angels and your mother knock on your door. As she watched with the angels, they began to sing...and she guided you safely right beneath her wing. "Eternally at Peace"... you will be missed by All who knew and loved you from beginning to end!

January 31, 2010

Dearest Alyssa and siblings,
May God be with all of you at this most difficult time for such young ones to endure. Your most precious sister was a given gift the day she was born. Her mother sacrificed her life for an angel. She is now at home in peace with her mother watching over all of you, keeping you safe under her wings. You have our deepest sympathy and many prayers for all of you to stay strong for Shelby.
Your pain and loss is shared by so many! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

Tammy Vosburg and Family

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
