Baby Ella

Yesterday my brother Bret and his amazing wife Amy welcomed their baby girl Ella here, but then to have her taken back to our heavenly Father a few hours later. Thank you for all of the prayers that are being offered in Bret and Amy's behalf. Please go to Amy's sister's blog

to read more on their story, see a precious tribute picture and if all possible make a contribution to help this young couple pay for funeral expenses.

Thank you everyone, it's much appreciated during this tough time.
