Scott.....so sorry to read of the loss of your baby girl. I can only imagine how badly you are hurting right now. We are never prepared for the loss, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss.

No words can come close to expressing the grief or pain you have all gone through. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Cannot remove the pain, but am holding you in my heart.
