Your recent article about the sisters Susan Jasiewicz and Debbie Thacker who lost children was very inspiring. Personally I do not know how it feels to lose a child, but I do know how it feels to lose a loved one.

Honoring children who have passed away is a great way to help heal people, especially during the holidays. It is sad to see that so many people showed up to honor their children that they had lost, but it's a good feeling to know that people in this area can come together to help each other out. I admire people who has lost a child; their strength is unbelievable. To go on with their lives after losing someone so dear to them says a great deal about their strength. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jasiewicz, Thacker and all the people who have lost children throughout their lifetime. Brittany Hodge Swansea
