I spent yesterday wondering what you would look like at two weeks old. What little mannerisms would you have? What would you look like in a year? In 18 years? What would you be when you grew up? Would you be calm and patient like your dad? Or always on the go, like me?
More than anything I want see your little face again and get to know you, experience you, touch and smell you. I hope it will hurt less today than it did yesterday and that tomorrow will be even better still. But, somehow, I think not.
We miss you so much it aches. No matter how far we run, you are always on our minds.

Jennifer,
As I've been so unforgivably out of touch with my Bradenton folks, I only recently heard the news. I can only echo the shared heartbreak and empathy so many of your friends and loved ones have expressed over the past several days. I wish I was more wise and eloquent, and could somehow offer some special insight that would ease your pain. All I know is that you, and Brent, are supremely good people. When I moved to Florida in 2005, and didn't have any friends or possessions or any idea what I was doing, you guys befriended me, trained me, and gave me so much advise and guidance that helped me make it through (and you gave me dishes that I still use!) When I think of some far-off future when I grow up, settle down and fall in love, I think of you guys, and the life you have together, with hope and a little bit of envy. I don't know why bad things happen to good people. But good people you guys are, and that is not something that's trite or irrelevant or easily achieved. Take some time and heal, and love each other, and begin again. Brent has my number, and my e-mail is tfsteven@loyno.edu if you ever wanna talk. God bless.

I think we all are wondering also...At least you both got to see her and hold her which is something I did not and always will regret....At least Pop got to kiss her from Baba....
I wish I could hold u both and make it all better but I can't...God had a Reason for taking Lillian Rose and we all know that she is in Heaven with all of our families and they will all take good care of her til we all meet again....
The pain will lesser which each passing day but will never go away...I do pray that God gives u both all the strength u are going to need...Your Love is Strong and also your Faith...and your Family and all your many Friends are always going to be there for u both...
I may live on long island...but one call and i will be there as fast as I can....
I love you both so very much...more than words could ever say....
Lots of Hugs are being sent ur way...Mom
