GRANTED!

I WISH for assistance in buying a headstone for my baby

In Dec 2008 I gave birth to premature twins. Genevive was 3 lb 1 oz, and Lillian was 1 lb 13 oz. My sweet Genevive, suddenly got very sick and passed away 36 hours later. It was shocking for us, one minute she was fine the next she was gone. Her twin was in the hospital for another 2 months. Having a funeral, plus taking care of another sick baby has taken its toll on us. We do not have the money to buy a headstone for genevive. I feel she deserves to be remembered. I feel guilty I cannot do such a simple thing for her. Making sure she is remembered is my way of grieving I guess. She was very special and few people ever got to meet her.

  I am so sorry for your loss, there just really aren't words to express how sad one feels to have to say good-bye to a child. I pray for your family, and I hope you will be able to get Genevive's headstone soon, so you know that she won't be forgotten ^i^

  I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family. My family is going through the same thing right now my nephew was born 5 days ago at 28 weeks and his kidney's have not formed and his body is poisoning it self. So his mom has made the decision to take him off of life support and let him fly home to Jesus. I would like to send you a little something in a card if you would accept it. Please send me your name and address.

  My heart goes out to you and your family with the loss of your beautiful baby girl. I was very touched that you let the WUAH family join you in sharing in the loss of your daughter by sharing the pictures of your her short but precious life. I too have lost a child at a very young age (9 1/2 months) to a brain tumor...and know the pain and heartache you are feeling. May she always be in your thoughts and in your heart...and know she will never be forgoten.

  Sorry for your loss. I too was very touched by your photos, what love your sweet baby has. There is a organization that provides headstones for children. The name is escaping me but I'll try and find it.
