Dear Marcia, We are so sorry for your family's loss. We were out of town today, but we have definitely been praying for you and yours. My Mom lost her first baby, a son, at 9 months of age. Every year, she would say, This is Billy's birthday. So I know how the grief lasts. Our children aren't supposed to go before we do. May you receive the strength and comfort you need at this time. God bless, Linda and Ben
