Wates Family,
As I heard the news about your little girl literally one morning at our local gas station, I walked out in tears. I have been in your shoes almost 1 year ago exactly to the day that my own daughter passed away suddenly at 5 1/2 years young. I feel your pain and hope that you can find the strength to move forward with the best of memories. My family is always here to help. Just know that you are not the only ones dealing with the loss of a child, there are many out there and we are here to support. Take care of each other.

My heart was tore appart that night and even though I will never understand, I know God has taken another angel. May God bless you and your family.
