Funerals or memorial services for the elderly are hard but I have to say it is even harder when they are for children or babies. My friend Camille and I attended a memorial service yesterday afternoon for the grand baby of a friend. The parents of baby Brooklyn are very young, teens and early twenties, and though their loss is a tragic one they do have her twin sister Kalli. The babies were due in March but they (the family) knew it would be earlier because not only were these babies their mommies first, little Brooklyn they discovered had some heart issues that would require surgery. Unfortunately after the girls were born they realized that she had more health issues that could not be fixed and she passed away a little more than an hour after her birth. There are no words that could possibly comfort the family at this time other than to say how sorry you are for their loss. I will go to bed tonight like I did last night saying prayers for Brooklyn's family.
