ROGERD 16 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 From myself and our whole family, I would like to thank you all for your response to my plea for Prayers. I would like to inform you all that my grandson passed away as we had to make the decision to unhook all life support systems. He passed away in my daughters arms and in my wife and my presents. The doctors said it was SIDS and there was nothing that could have been done that wasn't done for him. Unfortunately, it is something that is an all to often occurance to babies at that age. They have absolutely no idea of how, or even why it occurs. It is an absolute mystery to the medical community. We are back home now and will have a memorial service here in Lake Havasu this next Saturday. Again I would like to thank you all for your outpouring of prayers for our family.

The Dear Wife 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 RogerD: This is such sad, heart breaking news. I am so very sorry for your loss. It is never easy to accept the passing of a loved one but when it is a child, it seems even harder to bear. We can only pray for understanding, even when there really is no way to accept or understand such a senseless loss. I ask the Heavenly Father to comfort you all and give you strength. I also must say, as Sonny said previously, that even though I don't know you or your family, I would also like to hug you and offer my strength. I have no doubt that many prayers have been offered up for you and the family and will continue even as some tears have also been shed for your loss. With deepest sympathy, I wish you peace.
