Hi Susan.   I actually found your webpage through the help of Facebook and wanted to tell you how helpful your site is.   Micah Allen was born 6 years ago and Isaiah James was born 3 years ago, and I am still very much still searching to find some kind of sense in the maddness.   Although I can very much see that they were such a blessing to me and my family it helps so much to read other's stories...maybe it makes me feel like I 'm not alone after all.   Thanks for the wonderful webpage.   May the Lord bless you!!!

Hi Susan, I would just like to say how sorry I am for you.   I lost my little Nevaeh Marie on Nov. 1, 2007.   She was born with one kidney and full of cyst.   Her kidney never functioned.   She lived for about 3hrs.   I was very lucky to get lots of beautiful pictures.   I found out at my 20 week ultrasound that the chances of survival were very slim.   I carried Nevaeh Marie till 37 weeks...Dawn

I'm sorry to hear about your baby. On November 6th, 1982 my mom had a son with potters syndrome. He lived for an hour or two. His name was Dustin.

Thank you so much for visiting Derek's site. You also have a wonderful site and just know that if you ever need to talk, I am here to listen. There are too many of us on this same road of heartache and grief. The only calming thing is to know that we are not on this road alone. *Hugs* to you and yours. Take care.

Hi Susan, It's nice to meet you hun, and thanks for signing my dad's guestbook.   It's so hard when we loose someone.   I lost my dad and brother in six months, the pain and hurt seems like it will never go away.   Your memorial for the babies is just beautiful and full of love.

Well my darling babies its now your 21st birthday,mummy didn't sleep very well last night awake with pain think its down to missing you both,I know your safe and grandpop will be taking care of you.Well its 5.40am the time you were both born those sad 21 years ago,I wish i could have had time with you and held you like i did your sisters and brother,But that day will come when i can hold you so for the first time.Your balloons will be getting sent about 9am today i choose pink ones as thats the colour you would have liked as all girls do,I hope Angel Baby doesn't mind as i was unable to know if the first angel was a boy or girl,But if angel you was a boy i'm sure you would have given joanne anything any way,Like you gave her the best chance of life if only she had been able to grow what she neede to live on earth.Well i will say bye for now angels

Hi babies thinking of you and missing you so much today,time now 5.30pm it was 21 years and 1 1/2 hours since i went in to the doctors room,and was told i was to go into hospital for more checks,I wasn't yet worried just thought it was normal alot of pregnant women get high blood pressure etc.So 21 years ago i was still looking forward to meeting you both.I didn't know what was to come in the following days,One angel already gone to heaven and got the angel wings,Now soon to know also you joanne was going to get yours. Never to hold you but when it is my turn babies to come to heaven i wont let go.I am just getting your balloons ready and also your teddies do hope you like them,I will be letting them go by yours and granpops tree at the cemetary 21 nice pink one's.
Thinking and loveing you forever in my heart,Granpop will take care and hold you untill the day i see you again.

Night Night darling angels xxx

TY for sharing the story of the loss of your babies. Blessings to you and to yours, Muzz

It's rare to find Potters parents here in the UK, and I congratulate you on your bravery in sharing Joanne's story.   We've met before at other online forums and one of my journals is on Joanne's home page.   They say time is a healer.   I disagree.   To take the place of the overwhelming grief in the passage of time is the notion of what your child could have and would have been like, had they survived and not been born with Potters.   I'll be holding Joanne in my prayers on her forthcoming 21st birthday on the 16th March 2006, and send you all my love from here in Leeds.   Love from Lynda Wilson (Elliott Beaumont's mum)xxxxxxxxxx   E-mail: lindypop@ntlworld.com.   Website: www.remembering-elliott.co.uk.

Hello,

I've just read Joanne's story.   It's heartbreaking.   We lost our son James to Potter's Syndrome on 22nd September 2005.   We did not know until the moment he was born that there were any problems.   He was born five weeks early and lived for just over three and a half hours.   He had been on a ventilator and we knew that we had to let him go.   We held him as he died.   It was literally seconds once the machine had been switched off.   It's still very early days for us and some days are better than others - as I'm sure you know only too well!

Love and best wishes from Jackie, Alan and Abby Johnston, Scotland xxx

hello anyone who is reading this. This is my mums website, im the eldest living daughter and im proud of the way my mum has dealt with her loss. My brother, sister and i have all grown up with the feeling that we do have another sister, Joanne. Even though she passed away before any of us were born, we know her as our big sister. We can all talk about her openly so my mum doesnt have to worry about her 1st baby being forgotten. Talking about Joanne to others isnt very upsetting, its like my mum says, she was born to be an angel. And i can tell you, theres a few times in my life ive felt theres someone looking after me!
Anyway, Mum - Love the site and love you! Kimberley Jayne x
