After almost 7 years of being together through ups and downs Gary and I found out that I was pregnant and started our journey of starting our family together, that was in Feb. 2005.  On May 18th we had our first ultrasound and found that our baby girl (we didn’t know it was a girl at that time, Gary knew but didn’t tell me until the following morning) had some abnormalities and my OB referred me to a specialist and we were prompted to have an amniocentesis.  Gary and I went home devastated.  The best thing that happen that day was when I heard Gary say to me, “We have to give her a chance to live.”  Those words will forever be stamped in my heart.  On Monday the 27th I got a call from the genetics counselor giving me the news of our baby girl.  We continued the pregnancy, we were determined to continue on for as long as Gods plan was.  From the beginning of our diagnosis I had left Abigail's life in Gods hands.  Abigail Rose arrived October 8th, 2005 at 2:37 pm. she weighed 4 lbs. 12 ounces and was with us for 5 wonderful weeks.  She passed away in her father's arms on November 12, 2005.  Abigail Rose was a true blessing from God and was sent to us with a mission which she accomplished to the end of her time with us.  She brought joy, love, and support to her daddy and I and most importantly she brought new meaning to how we live our lives.  She touched family and friends in ways unimaginable.  She was our "miracle baby" as everyone called her.  My sweet Abigail Rose you are always loved, missed and will always be remembered. 

We love you,

Mom, Dad, and your Brothers
