OT: OH Member Loses Child

Hello Everyone, I wasn't sure if you had heard about one of our members losing their child last night. Sandra's child had Autism and was found dead in their pond in the backyard, apparently he had went for a ball floating in the water and drowned. This is truly heartbreaking, I work with Autistic children and I know how easy something like this can happen due to their no fear of anything. So, if you'd like to send a card here is the information, you can read more about the situation. Apparently, they don't have insurance to help pay for the funeral, so if you feel inclined I am sure any donation would be helpful! http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/autismmom/ Kelli

Hey Kelli: I did read this last night. I had a hard time sleeping because of it. I just cannot fathom the devestation and my heart goes out to her and her family. Hugs, Jersey

Yes, she is pretty active on the Illinois Board. My heart goes out to her and her family.

This is just terrible. The poor poor woman. I just cannot even imagine what her pain is. I have only lost children in-utero. I cannot imagine having one on earth with me that I would have to send to Jesus. Oh --- I am in Houston which is the capital of children drownings in the us. In the past 2 weeks we have had 7 kids drowna nd one nearly drown that is in ICU at the hospital. God BLess! Jen
