My dear friend; I am so sorry for your lost! My daughter was born on August 7th, 1994 and died November 6, 2015. I shall pray for you always. "Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys"

Matt and Katie, words cannot ease your hearts but when you see a butterfly that are only here for a fleeting moment, Think of your little Angel. when the wind blows feel the breeze of her tiny kisses on your check, when the sun warms you think of the love that holds this sweet angel in the arms of the angels, Our love and thoughts are with you all.
