She writes:

Clara Rose was born in a quiet hospital room with the lights dimmed and only a single nurse in vigil with Walter and I. The hospital was busy with many other births and there were no doctors availbable for a little 1.13oz baby who had already passed away. I reflect on this and consider Christ, who was also born in a quiet place with only his parents looking on. And it is my hope, as was Mary's assurance for Christ, that Clara's life will be taken in exchange for the salvation of souls. Though our sorrow is deep, we rest in the supernatural conviction that she is most happily in the arms of our Savior, laughing and bringing Him joy. And this in turn brings Joy to our home.

Clara Rose Wall
Died March 11 @ 2:30 a.m. The Feast of St. Gemma Galgani
Born March 13 @ 9:11 p.m. A Friday in Lent
Funeral Mass and Burial March 18

Please pray for the family. This baby, they knew, had issues and would be born and shortly thereafter die. But she died in utero at 30 weeks instead. Maybe what happened was more merciful ... ? Her mama sent a picture of the baby. She looks so beautiful and has a full head of hair.

I will pray for this family. I am so sorry they had to go through this. May Christ be close to them and Mary wrap them in her mantle of Grace.

Tina,

Our family will be praying. A dear friend lost twins at 30 weeks and so I know a bit about trying to be there for this family.

Please know that they will be in our constant prayers.

In Christ,
Mimi

I am so, so sorry. I have felt the weight of this Cross. I pray for them now, but especially in the days to come when everyone else moves on with life, and their arms and hearts are feeling the extreme emptiness of little Clara Rose. So many prayers for them.
