Dear Andrew and Katie,
Thank you for entrusting Jack to the mercy of God. Your strength and example, the power of Mother Church at Mass yesterday, the love and faith of our family and friends has been a consolation that I did not expect to receive. To all who have lifted us up in prayer, I pray that you may be consoled as I have been by Our Father.
With love and admiration for your witness of married love, Mom

Dear Andrew and Katie,
My prayers are with you in this time of deep suffering. When you took the gifts to the alter today at the funeral you taught every parent there in a deep way what it means to give our children back to God. I have been so touched by your deep faith and trust. May Our Lady continue to uphold you in grace as she has known your pain.
In Christ,

So sorry to hear about your loss. Its 22 years today when we also lost still born son Vincent Jerome. Looking at the picture of Jack Francis brings so much memories of that day. Thank God for the time you had him, no matter how short including the time you had him in the womb. May God give you comfort, strength and peace.
