11 Nov 2020Aubrey was such a beautiful girl. I know what a difficult time you are having right now. It is a hard hard thing to lose a child. Try to take comfort in knowing she wanted life for her child. She has left us a large part of herself. Take comfort in baby Emma. I am so anxious to see her and know her. I will remember how Aubrey was smiling the last time I saw her in the van. I thought she looked happy. Know that as sad as you feel right now you will smile and know happiness again. ~ Love, Grandma Lenore
