We finally sent out Brienna’s birth announcement … we are so proud of them, and of course her! We continue to miss and love our sweet baby girl more than words can say. She is the best thing that has ever happened to us, and it made us happy to share her beauty with all of you.
Thank you for your continued love and support. We are so grateful to all of you.
Love,
Patrick and Laurie

I still think her name is one of the prettiest I’ve ever heard … and it’s even prettier in print, scrolling beneath her beautiful picture. Brienna’s birth announcement will hang proudly in our house amidst a collection of other special pictures of our family and friends. Love, Sarah

Laurie & Pat: Thanks for sharing Brienna Marie’s birth announcement with us all. It is beautiful. She certainly has touched a lot of lives. Brienna’s garden looks very warm and inviting I hope to one day be able to see it and add something to it, in honor of her life. I think of you both often, words alone can not express to you how I feel, but here is a big hug to embrace your family with love from me.
Patrick and Laurie,
I’ve just discovered your site and would like to wish you both congratulations and condolences. You two have both shown incredible strength and love throughout and are an exemplary family with so much love to give. I hope that you two continue to be blessed in the future and have a long and happy life together. I couldn’t imagine two people who are more perfect for each other. I miss and love the two of you more than you would know.

It’s a dreary day today, Laurie and Pat, but catching up on your blog today reminds me to be thankful for the rain, remember that love is the most wonderful connection we have with each other, and that faith bears the weight of our heartbreak. I think of your little darling often and continue to be amazed by the eloquence of your words and how you’ve so beautifully shared the gift of Brienna’s presence with your loving family and friends.
