Dearest Jakob, 
 
 I only recently heard of this devastating and heartbreaking loss that you and Mike have suffered. Sadly, I have no words that could provide you with comfort at this time. The loss is so unthinkable. 
 
 Rasmus was a beautiful, beautiful boy. He looks like he knew only a life of love, safety, security, and joy. I hope you and Mike can take solace in knowing that you gave Rasmus a beautiful life. I will be praying for you and all of his family. Love, Nadine (former K+N).

I met Emory on multiple occasions, and he was a sweet and curious child. I am so sorry for your loss but just know that he brought light and joy to me and I'm sure everyone that met him that will forever be with us.

My dear Jakob and Michael, Even as I write this, I cannot hold back my tears, because that is how deeply little Rasmus’s beautiful smile touched all our hearts. Moose has attained Moksha and is now at peace, in a place where no worldly pain or suffering can touch him. Though his time here was far too brief he was with the best parents ever.

Jakob and Mike,

I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss.  My deepest condolences.  Praying for peace, strength, and comfort...to guide you through this very tough time.  I cannot fathom the pain you must both endure.  God bless you.

I'm so sorry! :(
