A Debt of Gratitude

There are a few people that Rachel and I want to thank. These are some amazing people. They carried us when we could not walk. We want everyone to know what they have meant to us. They gave of themselves and showed worth to a helpless baby and his grieving family. Thank you.

White Chapel:
You removed a burden that will enable us to freely grieve.

Miss Patti and Alexandria’s House: She showed us we are not alone in our struggle. She has held our hand and been a guide in a very confusing and emotional time.

Our Beloved Friend Jenny Scherfenberg with ScherfsShots.com: She captured our baby Jax’s life on camera as it flashed before our eyes. Her creativity is a blessing from God. Jenny, no avenue exists to repay or express what you mean to us.

Doctor Hartung: We would have been blind and confused without you. Without you, how would we have cared for our son? You explained his limitations but celebrated his life. Your honesty, compassion, empathy, and gentle spirit have saturated our lives.

Our care nurse Elizabeth: A listening ear, a tender heart, and caring touch warmed our hospital room in the hours following Jax’s passing. We cherish her for her willingness and desire to experience the joy of our son.

Our Delivery Nurse Amanda: She chose to pick up our burden and walk with us when she could have chose to serve a different family. A maternity floor is filled with such beautiful sounds, but Amanda willingly entered into our silence. She bathed our whole family in love and service, her presence couldn’t be replaced. She is a most beautiful gift.

    Words cannot describe the sadness I felt when Jake brought home the letter from school today. I am at a loss as for the right thing to say, but please know that we are thinking of your family and praying. If there is anything that I can do please let me know.
