Honoring Emma

Once the intense wave of grief subsided I wanted to do something to honor Emma. I wanted to serve others who have felt this intense, indescribable pain. As I prayed and thought I knew what I needed to do.
When we were preparing the funeral details I could not find a dress I wanted to bury Emma in. We had decided just to buy the bridal dress from Build-a-Bear since we were running out of time. Thankfully, a friend listened to the whisperings of the Spirit and found a blog with the perfect dress. A dear friend offered to buy it for me and as I checked out my heart sunk. Shipping was $50. I knew I could not ask my friend to pay so much. She took it upon herself to call others who helped donate and bought us this precious gift.

I have created a website dedicated to providing burial gowns for precious angels. I will take any kind of donations, monetary, fabric or clothing. I am planning on donating at least 3 to the hospital where Emma was born and 3 to the mortuary who arranged her burial. Please spread the word so we can help as many families as possible to honor our Angel.
