Last week we lost the youngest member of our family. Baby Jacob was put to bed on the evening of Easter, and he was found dead the next morning. He had just turned 6 months old. This has been very hard for the family, and especially for his very young parents. I made this little bear with his initials for his parents, and also one for our niece, his grandma. I did not know whether to post this or not, but this is a place we all share. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but a baby .... I just can not describe how that feels. Thanks for allowing me to share this little memory for Jacob.

Beth, I am so sorry for you loss. This is a sweet tribute to him and I'm sure his parents and grandparents appreciate your love.

Very Sorry to hear the loss God rest him in peace!

Sorry about the loss. I'm sure his parents and his grandma are going to treasure this cute little bear.My thought and prayers are with you all. Hugs from Yvonne

I am so sorry dlonna & the little bear is precious. *4U & prayers for everyone

Hugs and Prayers for your entire family, and especially the grieving parents. Such a beautiful loving Angel Bear--so fitting and am sure it will be cherished. Lj

Jacob's parents will treasure your special gift and so very sorry for your loss of someone so very young

Thinking of you and your family at what must be a horrible time. I have been thinking of a friend today alot who lost a child in similar circumstances. Life sometimes is so cruel. I am sure that his parents will find a little comfort in the bear with their sons initials on

My heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family.
Very thoughtfull design....Draw comfort from our God...Hugs to all.

To lose a child at any age is very sad. My prayers go out to your family and to Baby Jacob's parents.You are in my prayers tonight, God Bless your Family. Lynn

My heart breaks for you and your family. How sweet of you to make this cute angel bear. I sents good thoughts and prayers your way!!!

How awful... so young baby. Like lflanders said - to loose a child is unbearable. So thoughtful of you to embroider this cute bear for parents. My thoughts are all of you...

Many years ago we lost a 3 month old nephew the same way. It is extra hard to bear when a healthy baby dies in this way. My heart goes out to you and his parents. I remember the difficulty my BIL and SIL had trying to deal with the loss of the baby. Although they have never forgotten him, and it still hurts, time has made it easier to bear. I hope your family is able to find some peace as time goes on. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My heart goes out to all of you! This is such an awful loss. To loose a child is almost unbearable. This was one of God's babies from the start. He had something very special planned for this baby child. The pain will ease in time but it will never go away. There are all so little memories to rely on. Each of you will go about dealing in your own way but just remember the Jacob is in heaven now and will never hurt or be sick again. You will always have your own special angel looking down on you! You will all learn to smile when you think of his short time here with you because it was so special. Your tribute was very sweet! I sure that it means alot to everyone! Linda in Ga

I am so sorry for the family. You have made a very nice tribute for Baby Jacob.

Such a sweet little bear... Aww, this I'm sure is so hard to bear... To loose such a sweet little baby like that... We lost one of our GS about 4 yrs ago, the pain is still very strong... He never came home from the hospital, was about the same age as u'r sweet angel Jacob, 6 months old... David was born with his organs on the outside of his little body... I hope the family can heal with the thought he is looking down on them, waiting for them to join him someday... My God bless the whole family and U too... (((HUGS))) & a flower with a tear 4U ;)

What a beautiful design. My heart is breaking for this little baby's family! I pray that they are all able to heal. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to lose a child.

It is hard to deal with when it is a little soul that is gone and you have comemorated it in a very nice way through your embroidery and it gives mum and grandma something to hold as the do.I am sure tfhat that little soul will be Waiting in heaven as he is a pure spirit. God be with you all and my prayers are with the grieving.

So sorry for your loss. So so young. You have made a beautiful angel bear for Jacob`s parents. I am sure they will treasure it.....

sorry for your lost, this bear is beautiful*
