'Walk to Remember' for all babies

I have been a "Walk to Remember" coordinator for the past four years. Regarding Jim Davis' column of Oct. 24, it's important to note that the support group, the walk, and the Angel Garden are for all babies, all precious lives, not only stillbirths. Families that have lost babies due to miscarriage and neonatal death (death in the first few months of life) are all part of this healing project. I thought it was important to note that fact for all the families that may have felt left out from the article.

We greatly appreciate the Daily Herald coming to the walk and printing an article. It is very important that we get the word out to any family that is hurting, and your column definitely makes people aware that in this day and age, this is sadly happening.
