In just 3 years I have met some truly beautiful people here, on the Internet. It simply never stops amazing me how many have written, and asked to help us in any way that they could. This week has been no exception to the thousands that have written, and I would like to share some of them with you.
I have been written to by some very nice organizations, asking to help with childloss.com, and the mission of helping others, free of charge. First, the webmaster, as well as uncle to LITTLE MARIA, who is now linked to our site, has offered his services for helping develop web pages, free of charge, for those that have lost children. His name is David, and he also develops free web pages for those that are helping this country, by serving in Bosnia. The site that he is responsible for is
LittleMaria.com
which tells the story of a very little girl with a very big heart. Please visit Maria's site, and drop the family a line while you are there. They are on a mission for helping others, and they deserve all the credit and praise, as well as support that you can give them.
The second person to write me is a woman named Sandi Huffines, who is making baby burial gowns and bonnets for those that have lost infants. She also includes a small stuffed angel bear with every one that she makes. I am devoting a special page to this woman, for the reason's behind her doing this for other's is simply beautiful, so keep an eye out for the page to be featured as site of the month. Sandy is working on developing a site herself, but anyone interested in contacting her for information about this special project, which is so very important may right to her by clicking
HERE.
I can not wait to write more about this wonderful woman!
Another special woman is from Canadian Angel Graphics. Lisa has a beautiful site that I hope everyone will visit, and has graciously donated a special logo, which is pictured below. Amongst her many talents, Lisa has beautiful linkware sets, as well as sets designed exclusively for sale. Please give her a visit when you get a chance. And, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to say THANK YOU for her hard work, and her asking about donating the logo for my site!
We have added a page so that you can check to see where you are in line, on the Free Memorial Requests. Please check
HERE
for where your memorial is on the list.
If your memorial is not listed, and you have not received an email from myself, or from Sonya, stating it is finished, please email me directly at:
THIS ADDRESS
and I will get right back to you!
We have been given permission to use
the paintings and graphics from
the following sites:
Robert Meyer's Gallery
Danny Hahlbohm's Inspired Art (from Sandy, his manager)
Please be sure to visit each of these sites
for the love and beauty that
is portrayed in each of these artist's
works! Thank you to each of these
fine, talented artists!
We are also using graphics,
Exclusively
on our main site, from
Moon and Back Graphics.
After speaking with Bev, the owner
of this marvelous graphics site, I was
disheartened to hear that
her graphics are being used, but credit
is not being given, by others.
Without the works of that site, and
Bev's talent, this site would not
have the beauty that is portrayed here
today. Please help fight Internet Plagarism
by linking all sets that you take from
these artists, back to their web pages.
If you see a set that does NOT have a link,
and you know that a particular artist
has designed that set, but not been
given proper credit, please drop a line
to that artist, letting them know.
Without your help, many graphic artists,
that portray the same talent and love in their work
as Bev does,
will end up pulling all linkware from their sites.
If that happens, sites like this will suffer tremendously.
If you notice a page on my site that does
NOT have the Moon and Back Logo on the page
please email me at
This Address,
and I will put the logo on, immediately.
This site tries to link ALL donators
of exclusive graphics, but mistakes
in html coding can happen.
We would never purposely not link another site
that offers linkware.
Their need for non-profit sites like this
is immense.
Thank you, in advance, for your support
of all of these wonderful people!
Please welcome aboard Sonya Pace
who will be helping me with the design of web pages, for the
Garden of Angels.
Sonya lost her son, Jonathan, to Bacterial Meningitis.
She most graciously offered to help in designing
web pages, in order to help other parents
that have lost children.
Sonya has a web site, which is linked on our
links page, in memory of her son.
Please visit her memorial site at
Joanthan Pace's Page
and drop her a line while there.
Jonathan is very proud of his mom,
with her mission in helping parents of angels,
and I am proud to have another selfless,
loving human being on board
with this site.
Thank you, Sonya, and Welcome!

THANK YOU!
I am back from Sunny, beautiful Florida!
This was a wonderful trip, with a priceless time
spent between Molly (8) and Mom.
Life is back to normal now, in dismal, cold and rainy Massachusetts :)
However, I have already begun planning my
next trip, with Molly AND my twin boys, next year!
(My babies still be too young :( )
I will begin designing webpages on Nov. 10
and have quite a backlog since October 30.
I am designing as fast as possible.
I do not want to rush through any web sites,
so please be patient.
I want you to have the perfect page, so
designing is done slowly.
Thank you all for your love, patience and support!
Amazon.com has teamed up with us
to bring you books that deal with
grief, and the loss of a child.
please visit the Books page
for recommended reading.
During the week of October 23, Jean, Karen and I will be visiting with
area hospitals, bringing various donated items, pamphlets
and keepsakes, for those that have lost babies,
whether it be miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss.
Please keep checking this page for updates.
We are also planning a hospital conference for
Miscarriage and Infant Loss Awareness.
Each of us have done these conferences before, in which we
attempt to open the eyes of the hospitals to the fact
that miscarriage and infant loss is a tragedy for all involved,
and requires bereavement support, dignified burial, and
and just plain old human compassion.
We will post all information here, once
we have the dates set.
This site only links with grief-related sites,
in the loss of a child.
If you have such a site, please Email Me
After viewing the site, we will contact you
and provide a link on each of our pages.
You MUST provide a link back to us.
We do this so those leaving the site
can come back in.
If you have a grief support site that does not discriminate for any reason,
and are grief/memorial/support related,
please email me at the link above,
or on the main page
and I will look at your site.
If you are helpful to just one grieving human being,
you will be linked to this site!
Childloss-related information, and/or child memorial sites only please!
