3rd Annual Day of Hope

October 15th is coming up once again, and while I know we never forget our angels lets take time to get together and support one another as mothers, fathers, and families.

A baby loss mom shared with Bianca that last years memorial gave her a place to finally grieve for her baby, and that is what he hope to do, bring everyone a little piece of comfort and healing. We hope that you will join us this year and share your stories and find a bit of comfort in your heart.

Gabriella Bear

Molly Bears - Gabriella's Bear

 

Yesterday a special surprise was waiting for me on my front porch. It was Job and Bianca's  4 lb 10 oz Gabriella Bear.  I ordered this bear a few months after precious Gabriella passed away. I found the Molly Bear Organization on-line while browsing the Internet late at night. One of those nights while I was sitting up with my own baby, wondering why Gabriella was taken away from our family. What a great organization this was! It was started by other baby loss mom who in her time of grief was searching for something to hold onto and went to her local market and weighed rice to the exact ounce that her precious baby weighed and made her own bear, in honor of her baby, Molly and Molly bears was born. This organization works completely of donations. If you are a baby loss mom or a family member and would like to contribute to the wonderful organization, visit their website:

Thank you

 

 

Thank you to all who joined us on October 13th.  Once again, we had a chance to share stories and find a little comfort with those who walk the same path.  I want to extend a special thanks to the staff at Lakewood Funeral Home.  We have found special friends in Mike Dennis and Pastor Chuck Adams of The Carpenter's House.  This year we have met another very special friend, Allyson Mortensen, whose input has helped more than she knows. Thank you, Allyson! 

A very special thank you to the men of the Modesto City Fire fighters Association, Local 1289 for donating their time to BBQ for everyone, and to Megan to for the beautiful words and dove release.

Once again, we hope that this day was able to bring hope and healing to you and your families. Please watch this blog for future updates throughout the year, we have many exciting ideas to come this year!

Much love and happiness to you and your family,

2nd Annual Day of Hope

We are coming up on October 15th once again. That means another year has passed us by. This year we will have another little Juarez with us. Benjamin Gabriel Juarez joined the Juarez family on May 16th, 2012. He is so loved by our whole family. Of course, his middle name is in honor of his big sister Gabriella. 

Bianca, Job and I are planning this year's memorial and while we have so many ideas, we have gotten a late start because of Benjamin's arrival, and our busy schedule's but we want to invite everyone to join us again this year to honor your angel babies, and come together to remember and share. I recently heard a beautiful quote: "Some say you are too painful to remember, I say you are too precious to forget"...and that is exactly what this event is about. Remembering your beautiful babies who were taken too soon.

This year's event will be held on:

 Saturday October 13th at Lakewood Memorial Chapel

4:00 pm

900 Santa Fe Avenue

Hughson, CA 95326

There will be a candle lighting ceremony and an outdoor ceremony.

If you would like your child included in the video presentation, please send a .jpg file to gabriellasangelsofhope@yahoo.com and include the child's name and dates (ex. Baby Juarez ~ January 2012). If you do not have a photo and would still like your child included, please send his/her name and dates and I will include him/her.
