In my prayers / Sue Weir (Saw this when looking at my husbands )
Dear Devin's family. Your little angel is in heaven now with my husband and nephew both of which died in April. My 17 yo nephew got killed on April 1, 2005 and my husband, Louis, died of a broken heart 10 days later on April 11, 2005. I felt like I had died and was just stuck here on earth. I will have you in my prayers, but rest assured your baby is being loved in heaven. I came across this while viewing my hubby's memorial. Sincerely, Sue Close

I came across your website and wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know all to well the pain that comes with losing a child. I lost my daughter Makenzie at birth on 10/25/05 due to a uterine rupture, after a perfect pregnancy (also my oldest daughter's first birthday). The last year has been very hard for our family. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I invite you to check out my daughters website at makenzie-siggins-2005.memory-of.com. Denise

I cried so many tears looking at your beautiful site. I was searching for updates on SIDS to see how far they have come with research and had to take a moment to read the memorials. I have never read or seen anything as touching as your site. You and your family have done a wonderful job of telling the story of who Devin, your angel is. May God bless you guys and give you strength everyday of your lives. Melissa Close
I am looking through internet sites on New Year's Eve, dreading when the calendar changes to 2007. Our sweet baby, Jace, died of SIDS on September 8th, 2006. He was 4 days shy of being 5 months old. My heart is so broken that sometimes I don't know how to go on. I have two other beautiful children, and I feel as though I am doing great for them and when I am with them. But everything is so surface level. That is the way I can describe it. Inside I am torn apart and so broken. It tears me up inside for the new year to come because in 2006 we held him, and in 2007 we will not have.
How is life after 18 months? I have been told that it doesn't get easier, it just gets differerent. I have asked people if they are happy again. At this point, it doesn't seem as though that will ever be possible for me again. I had everything before Jace died. And as you said of yourselves, we did everything right. I don't ask "Why Me?" That would mean someone else would have to go through this hell and I would not wish that on another human being. But I do ask "Why?" or better yet, maybe "How?"
If you could please offer me some insight - although I know you are still in grief. Your Devin was a beautiful baby.
