Sometimes God creates perfect little rosebuds for His own bouquet in Heaven. One of those tiny little buds is out daughter, Madison Jill. On August 6, she entered this world with two small cries... two cries forever embedded in our minds. Dr. Sue Clark and her staff did all man could do to keep our dear baby, but God had better plans for her. Madison lived less than one hour... a right diaphragmatic hernia had kept her lungs from fully developing, thus breathing on her own was impossible. We pray that God may cuddle her close, until someday our aching arms are once again given the chance. We are greatful to OSF and The Children's Research Hospital of Illinois for their efforts in trying to save our little darling.
