As parents who also lost an infant...our thoughts are sincerely with you during this time. Sophia is a beautiful girl. If you are spiritual people...upon the loss of our son, someone once said that "God takes the most beautiful babies to spare them from the difficulties of life on earth and to make heaven more beautiful." Out thoughts are with you.

Though I do not know you, I express my greatest sympathies. I could not imagine what it would feel like losing a child....I thank god for my 6 yr old and 2 yr old every day! I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a child is probably life's most painful experience. Sophia has returned to her Maker. May you always keep happy memories of her in your hearts. Meningitis took my husband also, 5 years ago. You will never forget Sophia but your pain will ease with time. Allow yourselves to grieve -- don't suppress the tears. Peace will come to your hearts -- eventually. Carol Brandt Browerville, MN
