On August 23, 2007, Baby Joey
was born. A healthy baby girl full of love and a future ahead
of her. She brought so much meaning in everyone's lives and
many families and friends became close because of her. She
taught her big sister Angelica the true meaning of LOVE.
On March 10, 2008, Baby Joey
passed away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at the
age of 6 months old. She was never given the chance to take
her first step. We will never see her experience so many thing
in life. This is because of a tragedy that we do not know
what cause it.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS) is the most common cause of death for babies between
the ages of one month and one year. It is the sudden death
of an infant under one year of age that remains unexplained
after a thorough case investigation, including a complete
autopsy, examination of death scene, and review of the clinical
history. Although figures differ, at least 2,500 babies in
the United States die from SIDS each year.
Please help us
find the answers as to why our Baby Joey had gone too soon.
We will never see her grow up and experience life..Her love
and life have encouraged us to be better people and not to
take anything or anyone for granted. Her story has taught
us that love is amazing, loss is devastating and family and
friends are everything.
I fancied that I heard them
say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the joy this child
shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll love her while
we may, and for the happiness we've known forever grateful
stay. But should the angels call her much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."
