    Dear Aimee,

    My heart goes out to you...I am so sorry to hear about sweet Abby’s passing. Please know that we will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

    I am 23 weeks pregnant with a little girl who the doctors suspect has Campomelic Dysplasia. The day we received the news about our little girl’s diagnosis (2/21), my husband stumbled upon the CD Yahoo Board and posted a message seeking guidance...and you were so kind to respond to his post. We have been following your blog and Abby’s journey ever since. Your words have given us incredible strength, courage and hope. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story with us...It has been such a blessing in our lives!

    God Bless you and your family,
    Julie Scalfaro

    Dear Julie,

    My heart goes out to you and your husband. There is one thing I know for sure...I wouldn't change not one decision, choice or outcome of what has happened. Abby has touched so many lives...I am certain that even though she was here with us for such a short while, her life has affected so many of us and has made us all better people. I know that I will be a better mother because of her.

    If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. May God Bless you as you start your journey with your precious little girl and I pray that she is one of the lucky ones to beat the odds.

    Love, Aimee
