Molly had some devastating news and lost her brother. It's been a little over a year since her loss of her baby to SIDS, and a really rough Lent for her physically, too.

If anyone would be interested in contributing to a spiritual bouquet of prayers for the repose of her brother Jesse's soul and the comfort and peace of Molly and her family, please PM and I'll compile them and send them on.

If you're unfamiliar with the spiritual bouquet, it's a promise of different prayers or acts offered for a person or intention or in memoriam. (See Answers.com for a definition.)For example, one family might offer:

15 Rosaries
15 Communions
25 Spiritual Communions
100 Ejaculations

Here's an example of a spiritual bouquet as a project.

Pm me for info if you would prefer to make a card and send it on to Molly from your family.

ETA: Ejaculations are simple, short invocations or prayers, such as:

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
Jesus, I trust in Thee.
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Just so credit is given, Angela F had the idea...I'm not the original inspiration.

The prayers or acts (sacrifices can also be included) can either be completed or promised. When I grew up we gave promises of prayers to be said, but Monica McConkey has an idea for prayers completed. Either way.
