What do you say to someone whose lost their baby? We've been there and done that. This morning we found out that Lance's cousin and his wife lost their baby girl one day after she was born. She passed away early this morning. It is so sad. It has hit close to home for us. We are reminded of a time when that happened to us.
Kendall and Emma's baby girl was born Trisomy 9, which means that there is no expectancy for them. She also had spinal bifida on her lower back, which was very under developed, water on the brain and many heart problems. She was born on Monday and passed away early this morning.
They too like us have three older boys and this was their first girl. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them. They will need lots of love in the following days, weeks and months ahead of them.
The funeral has already been arranged. Long before she was born they had it all planned out. They found a perfect little spot for her in a quite cemetary surrounded by other babies who have passed on, her father has built the coffin and her buiral dress already made.
Even though they knew ahead of time about it, you never know what to expect until it happens to you.
To the Ray family, we send our love, thoughts and prayers. She will be greatly missed. I hope and pray that the Lord will grant you tender mercies.

So sad. A parent's worst nightmare. I know that feeling, and you're right, you never can prepare for it...even if you know it's going to happen. Praying that family will find comfort in this difficult time.
