&#13;
"To deny our grief is to deny our love—for we loved her way before she was here&#13;
…&#13;
Thank you for sharing in our joy when we were expecting [our daughter]&#13;
And for sharing in the sorrow of losing our little girl.&#13;
We hurt knowing that she never got to see how many people &#13;
were looking forward to meeting and loving her."&#13;
&#13;
The words to the song “You are my Sunshine” are printed on the reverse.&#13;
&#13;
“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping&#13;
I dreamed I held you in my arms&#13;
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken&#13;
And I hung my head and I cried&#13;
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine&#13;
You make me happy when skies are grey&#13;
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you&#13;
Please don't take my sunshine away”</text>
