Thank you all so much...

Hi everyone, thank you all so much for your kind words and especially for your prayers. It means so so much to me and my family, I just feel like we are being lifted up right now. It is so hard to put into words what we are feeling and I know there has been so much loss with this group but it is not something you would ever want to experience. I feel like every new day is just a nightmare that never ends. We were so lucky to have trace in our lives and I wouldn't change a thing. I feel like I would wake up and I couldnt imagine how life could be so perfect to be blessed with two awesome boys. We don't know why these things happen but you are all so lucky to have your precious babies to hug and to kiss. Please give them one for me. I appreciate all your support and I would love to see you at the visitation or the service. If you feel like you need to have your kids with you, please bring them. Your words have meant so much to me....thank you all for your friendship!

Re: Thank you all so much...

  • A million hugs, Rose. You are so eloquent with your words. Trace was beyond blessed to have his short little life with you as his mommy. I've been hugging my boys extra close since I heard your tragic news.
    Happy mom to two sweet, silly boys: Cohen age 4, AJ age 2.
  • You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. There are just no words. Please do not hesitate to let us know if we can help you in any way during this time. Hugs.

  • I'm sure it's hard to believe in a time like this, but God will not give you and your family more than you can bear. Trace was very lucky to have you in his life. 

    I wish I could be there to support you on Friday. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I'm not sure where in the metro you are located, but if you have family who wants to stay in Ankeny, let me know and I can get you a special rate set-up.

  • I have been thinking of you and your family constantly since I heard the terrible news. Trace was so lucky to have you, S & M as his family! I can't even begin to fathom your pain but I am willing to help in any way I can.. I know there are a bunch of us who would be happy to make meals or do anything we can to ease the burdens of every day life..I will continue to pray that you may some how find peace..

  • My heart has felt broken for you and your family, Rose... A loss like this is beyond what seems possible to comprehend.  I'm so glad, though, that you can feel our prayers and thoughts.  I hope that you are also surrounded by family and close friends who are wrapping you in hugs -- while also allowing you private time to reflect and grieve.  You are a strong, loving, and wonderful woman.  
  • I've been thinking of your family non stop Rose. I want you to know that all my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family right now. I'm just speechless, I wish there was something I could say that would make this better, but there isn't. Just know we are here for you if you need anything at all. A million hugs to you and your family.
