To our son Royal, his wife Lauren, Baby Eli and Baby Joseph,
There are places a parent cannot go, harms from which they cannot protect, burdens they cannot bear for their children. For all of our cannots - God can. Peace in knowing that before God formed us, he knew us. And although we miss this little one greatly - I see him in Heaven - sweet home of the happy and free - praising God. (a place we can only imagine)
Lauren, you spoke these words; a gift of God through you:
"....* for my strength is made perfect in weakness *...." 2 Corinthians 12:9
May God's strenth perfected - His sufficient grace - make you gladly glory in infirmities, so that the power of Christ rest upon you.

Royal, Lauren & family,
I just learned of your loss and I immediately had flashbacks to 1983 when I lost my baby Andrew at 26 weeks.It was just about this time of year(Oct 25). I know how you feel . Joseph is buried right near my Andrew. If you ever want or need to talk, plase call me. I can share or just listen. Lauren, you have always held a special place in my heart,I love you and will be praying for you. I 'm sorry for not knowing sooner. Love to you all!

Royal, I am very sorry for your loss. When times are tough, I am reminded of the words of the Serenity Prayer:
"God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference."
May God bless you and your family during this tough time. Love in Christ.
