So sorry to hear about little Emberlee you are all in our thoughts
Sending thoughts and prayers for you all. May God wrap you in his arms and guide you through this difficult time. Feel blessed that she has shared the gift of life to others.
Prayers for you both with such a precious loss. I do know there are a lot of grandparents, great aunts and uncles in Heaven who are taking very good care of her now for you both. So amazing she saved two other lives in her short time here, what a blessed angel. Love you both.
Prayers for all. God needed another little angel. Jim&jody woods
I am so deeply sorry to see this, I know we are not to ask “why” – but there are times of heartache when that can be our only thought. The littlest angel, fought and earned her wings far too young. May God’s grace bring some peace to all of you during such a tragic time. My heart is with you, I have no words of comfort, only prayer that time will bring strength, and peace. Blessings – bountiful blessings.
Always, Julia Gregg-Ingrassia

Much love and compassion from my family to yours.
Stefanie,
Your family is in my prayers. Take care, Mary Davidson
Dear friends,
You don’t know me, but I feel strongly that we are connected. I lost a newborn 50 years ago. The pain will soften, but there will always be some sadness. You are so lucky that you got to hold her and you will have that memory always. When my week old baby died, so many women told me that they had the same experience of losing a child. It was surprising because their lives seemed so normal and happy. They gave me hope! Keep her memory always, but look forward to the future. There will be other blessings in your lives. With love, tears, and prayers from a friend.
Blessed are those who mourn
for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
You all are in my prayers
So sorry to here of the loss of your daughter. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We are so very sorry for your loss! Our prayers are with all of you!
