Dear Mr. and Mrs. Clark,
I am a RN at Carolina's Medical Center and had the privilage of taking care of Peyton. I am not at work this week and was just notified of her death.I am so sorry for your loss. She was also our gain. I can still see her in the wagon taking rides in the hall. She had the sweetest little smile and coo. I loved to watch her talk to you as you rocked her. You showed such steadfast love which healed us all. Please know that she will not be forgotten, ever. My condolences to your family. Peyton's room was always filled with loving people. Take care .

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Clark:
I just wanted to say how much I was moved by your daughter's picture and her story in the obituaries section of the Charlotte Observer. I am a stranger to you and do not know anything about your daughter, but her angelic smile despite the fact that she is obviously ill in her bed really caught my eyes. Her beautiful eyes were telling me that she was a happy and a brave baby supported by her parents' deep love. I could not help crying while reading her story. I am very sorry for her loss. I cannot find any word to ease your pain, but I just wanted to let you know that your daughter really made a difference to this world during and after her short life, even to a stranger like me.
