Dear Rodrigues family,
4 years ago this past Sunday, our 16-yr old son passed away swimming in the Willamette River here in Salem. My life was turned upside down at losing a son so young. Yet I read about this, and my heart aches for you. I cannot imagine losing a child after 4 days, and I won't say anything like "I know how you feel". I know how it is to lose a child, however. It is a path few parents ever experience. The ONLY thing that kept me from losing it was my son's-and our-faith in Jesus Christ. I'm not going to preach. Just know that I am praying for you, I cried for you today, and you CAN find solace in His Mercy. It takes time, and it isn't easy, but it will get better. Eventually. clharle@msn.com

Dearest Bethany and family, my heart aches for the loss of your beautiful baby. I, too, had a baby on Tuesday, June 14, in 2005. Each year when we celebrate this day, Sequoia's life will be celebrated as well. Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of her life and may you find peace.
Love to all,

Feliz Aniversário meu amor, meu anjo, minha filha linda. I miss you every day and wish you were here with me. I would give anything just to hold you again, and see your beautiful face, to look into your eyes. Mama loves you so, so tight my sweet baby, you are always in my heart, peering out at the hole that will be there forever.
