In Appreciation

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Randall Kuhlmann, Dr. Steven Leuthner, Amy, Barb, Laura, Laurie, Sandy, June and all the doctors and staff in the Fetal Concerns program at Froedtert Memorial Hospital and Community Memorial Hospital. We would also like to extend special thanks to the wonderful nursing staff in labor and delivery at Froedtert.  The kindness and support shown us throughout our journey was appreciated more than we can ever express.

Our families have been our constant source of strength and comfort.  There are not enough ways to thank you for the outpouring of love and commitment you have given to Ella and to us throughout our journey.  We love you more than words could ever express.

We would also like to thank all of you who have taken the time over the past few months to share your kind words, your warm thoughts and your prayers.  We are continually amazed at the outpouring of support from our family and friends.  Special thanks to our friends and coworkers from school, the families of the Menomonee Falls Dance Team, the wonderful women of Happy Haven, the Choir and congregation members of Shepherd of the Hills and all the individuals who have taken the time to offer us comfort.  We extend special thanks to Pastor Tom and musicians Angie and Steve.  Additional thanks to Julie D’Amico-Beres for providing the family with our treasured remembrance pins.
