for those following the twins in my siggy...

I had posted that Carynne had passed away on Sunday and her sister Sydney passed away yesterday....

From Brook's e-mail:

"Sydney joined her sister at 6:45 this evening. When Carynne passed
yesterday, her heart just gave up and we tried to recucitate her. We
called the ambulance and she was taken to the hospital. I rode in the
police car while Jake stayed with Sydney. When I walked into the ER
the doctors were waiting to tell me that she had passed.

Today, Sydney was struggling the entire day and we could only turn her
oxygen up to a certain level without blowing up her lungs. When we
got to that point, I just held her in my arms and Jake held her hands.
We had two nurses here with us and they watched the monitors as she
slowly decreased. We just held her and let her take her last breaths
in our arms. She stayed with us for about an hour before they came to
pick her up.

Funeral arrangements are pending at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, a
division of Flanner and Buchanan. This might sound bad, but I am
thankful that they went so close together so they didn't miss each
other too much. We are going have both services at the same time
sometime later this week.
"
Please continue to keep Brook and her family in your prayers.

  • I read this on the SAL board.  Just heartbreaking.  How ironic that they came into the world together and left together.
  • I am so thankful that they went together.... knowing that they are at peace and together.
  • That is such a sad story!  My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I couldn't even imagine...
  • I sat here holding Caleb and bawling.  My heart breaks for this family.

  • Their family is in our prayers. ?I too am hanging on to Eli and crying. ?Thankfully they passed around the same time, I could not imagine the wait for the parents. ?Makes us ever so much more thankful for our children.
  • That is just so sad.  I can't even imagine......I am sitting here crying right now and I can't wait for Caitlin to wake up from her nap so I can give her a big hug and lots of kisses.  In fact, I may just have to go and do that now.  I do agree that it was somewhat of a blessing that they both passed so close together - that way they will always be together.  It's just so sad.
  • Since yesterday when I found out about Carynne I have been kissing mine so much,,, it makes me realize how truly blessed I am
  • I'm so sorry.  My thoughts are with them!
