Dear Mary and Joe,

I think I speak for the entire NICU staff at when I say how sorry we are. Princess Catherine was a special baby who touched many hearts in her short time with us. My heart is saddened to know that you and your entire family has to go through this most difficult time. I am sure your friends and family at the sevice were wondering who we were... sobbing through Joe's speach but it really was beautiful. He captured her to a tee and his words were so heart-felt. Thank you for allowing us to be there with you to celebrate her life. I will hold you both, Joey, and Christopher in my prayes. Take care.

We were so sorry to hear about Catherine. It just does not seem fair. God must have something really special planned for her. Nothing we can say can help heal your pain, but we hope that you can find some strength in all of us who care so deeply about you.



Love,
