Memorial Garden
The
Memorial Garden was created to honor our "brave
warriors" who are no longer with us. We wish to
thank their parents for sharing the stories of their
precious children, and making them a part of our
lives. We hope that you will find comfort in knowing
that these beloved children will always be
remembered, and will live in our hearts forever.

 Tea Elisa
Aarne30.9.1995 - 23.10.1997
Our third daughter,
Tea Elisa , was born with HLHS. She went through
three open heart surgeries. The last operation
was done on the first of October, 1997. After the
operation she got pneumonia, which was fatal.
Though there were
sickness and also suffering in Tea's life, she
was a very happy and cheerful child. We miss her,
but the love and memories are living in our
hearts. The knowledge, the capable hands of the
doctors, or the prayers of our family and near
friends couldn't save Tea's life. Though the
sadness is breaking our hearts, we want to thank
God for those days we were given to live together
with Tea.

Michelle
Helen Bane (Shelly) 11-4-96 to 11-16-96
|
| Michelle was
diagnosed in utero with HLHS and IUGR. She was
born at 37 1/2 weeks, weighing only 3 lbs 11 1/2
oz, while her twin sister, Connie, weighed 7 lbs
13 oz. She was stabilized and had the Norwood
surgery at 10 days old. We named her after the
surgeon. She seemed stable, but passed away about
36 hours later. Hopefully she is in Heaven with
her recently deceased grandfather, who loved his
grandchildren very much. She is survived by her
parents, Paul and Meg, and her sisters, Katie,
Jackie, and Connie. |

"Take your
troubles and your pain
All your worries and your blame
Take your life that's torn apart and come with me
To a place I've come to know
In times like these I go
Inside of the quiet times again
Lullaby your cares away
Think good thoughts and good things will happen
Rest your mind and things will pass in time
I know they will, there's magic in the quiet
times they say"
—Kevin Roth

 Our
son, Ryan, was born on 10/30/90 with Hypoplastic
Left Heart Syndrome. Ryan weighed 11 pounds, 2
1/2 ounces. He had open heart surgery when he was
two days old. Neither his size nor the surgery
were enough to save him.We did all that we
possibly could for our little man until the day
came to give him our ultimate and lasting gift of
love. On November 23, 1990, when Ryan was 3 1/2
weeks old, after being given a very poor
prognosis by the doctors, we made the decision to
disconnect his ventilator and give him
everlasting peace. It was a heartwrenching
decision to make, but I believe it was the only
one for him. We held our son for the first and
last time that day. Ryan, tubes and wires gone,
died in our arms twenty minutes later.
Ryan, Mommy and
Daddy did what we thought was the best thing for
you! We love you with all our hearts. We always
will. We know you're in a better place-no more
needles to endure! Until we meet again son...We
love you!
