What a sweet smile. What a hard loss. I don’t know what else to say except that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Watch over each other. Dave ---

I did a Google search for the address of the Ronald McDonald House in LA. It is: Ronald McDonald House, Los Angeles 4560 Fountain Avenue Los Angeles, California 90029 As \*\*Roadwalker \*\* said, we can donate there or to a local House. We have one in Topeka, but I think I will send something to both places. And don’t forget, you \*can \* sign up to be a potential bone marrow donor! ---

On behalf of the Doors family, I want to extend our deepest condolences. Naomi died knowing she was loved and with the people she loved the most. Consider collecting the new baby’s cord blood. I did that with Aaron, and if he, God forbid, gets sick, we’ve got it. Ask your obstetrician for more information. Robin ---

It was bad enough having my mother in Hospice (~4 years ago). I can’t imagine it with a 6 year-old. Glad she is no longer in pain… Brian ---

Farewell Naomi. I’m so sorry for the hand the Universe dealt you, but am glad you graced us, if even for such a short time. From _The Little Prince_ by Antoine de Saint Exupery : \*“And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, ‘Yes, the stars always make me laugh!’ . . .” \* **Roadwalker** , your family has my condolences. While one light has gone out, may it bring you some comfort that another will be brought into the world. ---

Your loss is our loss too. We all are diminished by your daughter’s passing. There is nothing that can be said but so much that must be shared. My family sends all of our love to yours. TV ---

I shouldn’t have clicked on the picture link. Gods, what a beautiful little girl. Although **Mermaid** is right… no parent should ever have to bury their child… I’m glad she spent her last days surrounded by the love and support of her family, and was afforded the peaceful, dignified passing we should all hope for. Hugs to you and yours during this sad time, yet best wishes for the new life that will no doubt be welcomed into you life with great love. -BK ---
