Dear Michelle,

Hoping you and Andy are doing well. I was talking to Loretta the other night and she mentioned your article in The Northeast Times. I had not read the article simply because I did not receive a copy of the paper. Lo and behold, who pulled into the driveway while we were speaking, your mom and gave me her copy of the paper to read.

What a truly splendid idea you have to start the foundation in memory of Arrianna Rose. I know I can’t even relate to the wounding, sadness, and anguish you have and are experiencing, but I am elated that you are able to remember Arrianna Rose in such a positive and meaningful way. How gratifying it must be for moms and dads to be able to turn to the foundation in their pain and release some burden.

Enclosed is a donation. I admire your spirit, motivation, and enthusiasm in your foundation endeavor. Hope to see you soon. Take care.

Love,
Pat

 

Michelle,

I recently saw an obituary in my local newspaper of an infant who past away (A Beebe hospital baby) and in the obituary it said you could make a contribution to the Arrianna Rose Foundation. I can not remember the baby’s name or the Mothers name and I did not know them I just wanted to send something in this baby’s (I believe it was in the paper around the end of May) name as well as something in our daughters memory if that is possible. Could you email me an address or send me an address? Thank you so very much thank you so much again for all that you do for all of us that lose our angels. (we are expecting another daughter this Sept-so far everything seems to be going good.)

Love,
Dawn (Mother of Amanda Marie.)



Dear Andrew & Michelle,

I just read an article in the midweek about your precious daughter & her foundation. I was so touched that I wanted to write. As a mother myself, I can only imagine your heartache. I am so terribly sorry about your loss and pain… & I greatly admire the honor you bring to Arrianna through her foundation.

I apologize that I don’t have a financial donation to make right now, but I would like to offer a donation of time and services, should you need them. I am an editor and have experiences of doing the layout and design of newsletters, brochures, flyers… even bookmarks. If I could ever help you in any way, please let me know. Also, with your permission, I’d like to mention the Arrianna Rose Foundation in my church’s (Living Word Lutheran Church in Roslyn) next newsletter. I think there are some members that who might like to contribute.

Again, I am sorry for your loss and in awe of your strength.

Blessings,
Lydia



Dear friends:

My first daughter was stillborn a great many years ago and my thoughts are with you.

You’d be interested to know that I now have twelve living children, thirty-seven grandchildren and about eight great grandchildren, so time does heal.

I wish you good fortune and future happiness.

Sympathetically,
Leon



Dear Ms. McAdoo:

We are in receipt of the $600 donation the Arrianna Rose fund made on behalf of the Carlisle family for baby Tyler Lewis Carlisle.

The assistance provided by the Arrianna Rose Foundation is greatly appreciated. It is wonderful to know that such assistance is available to families at their greatest time of need.

Thank you for your caring assistance.

Sincerely,
S. Keith Parsell
President and Sole Owner

Dear Michelle,

I would be more than happy to promulgate, publicize, and otherwise encourage support for the Arrianna Rose Foundation. Elsie has shared with us a little about your pain and process of grieving. If it is okay with you, I will make copies of the brochure, distribute them, and have them available for the congregation as need arises. Please know you continue in our prayers and if I can be of any assistance to you and your family please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Grace, Mercy, Peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Neil

Dear Ms. McAdoo

We would like to extend our gratitude to the foundation. Thank you very much for the donation which was sent to Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Lewis, Delaware, On behalf of our son Tyler Lewis Carlisle. The donation greatly helped us to pay for the funeral expenses. We are very grateful that you were able to assist us in our time of need. Your kindness during our time of loss has not gone unrecognized.

Thank you once again.

Sincerely,
Mathew and Stephanie Carlisle



Michelle,

I think that everything your foundation does is wonderful. My sister and brother in law, Stephanie and Matt Carlisle of Georgetown, Delaware, lost their son, Tyler, this past spring. Your foundation donated money to them to help with funeral expenses. This was greatly appreciated! I would like to make a donation to your fund so that my money may help another family in need at an unfortunate time. Please let me know how to go about doing this. Thank you very much and Happy Holidays.

Jena, Kevin, & Kayla



To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of Sandra and Mark Warren and Mariner’s Bethel U.M. Church we want to express our deepest thanks and gratitude to your foundation for the care and arrangements you made on behalf of baby Tyler. It is nice to know there is a foundation like the Arrianna Rose Foundation in the area that provides this service for needy families.

Yours in Christ,
Norma



Michelle,

You are doing a great thing for people who are dealing with unthinkable loss, as you yourself have experienced. These people will receive an act of kindness they may never have felt, had it not been for Arrianna.

Take care and God Bless!
Sharon



Dear Ms. McAdoo:

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak during the Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School Of Nursing Seminar on “Perinatal Loss”. The work that you and the Arrianna Rose Foundation provide to the community is invaluable. I hope that you will continue to educate the community on this important topic.

Sincerely,
Diane M. Breckenridge, R.N., M.S.N., Ph.D.

May god bless you,

Dear Michelle,

I am writing to you on behalf of the 3rd floor staff at Beebe Medical Center. Our floor houses the inpatient rooms for pediatrics within the hospital and we often care for Dr. Bradley’s patients. Every holiday season we participate in the parade of trees at Grotto Pizza. We chose a theme and decorate a tree to be on display at the restaurant. A donation box is placed at each tree and the proceeds go to a charity of our choice. This year we chose your foundation. My family suffered a loss this year and your foundation graciously helped us with the funeral cost to bury our son Tyler. So the 3rd floor staff thought it was appropriate to help and give back to the organization that helped us. Please accept this donation on behalf of the staff and those in our community who voted for our tree by donating to your charity.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,
Stepanie Carlisle R.N.
(Mommy of Tyler Lewis Carlisle & one of the many nurses that care for Dr. Bradley’s patients)



Dear Michelle & Andy,

Thanks so much for the recent articles written on the Arrianna Rose fund. Our family has also experienced stillborn death as I lost my son, Carson, 5 years ago. In his remembrance, we have set up Carson’s fund through Bethany Christian Services (www.carsonsfund.org), to help provide adoption assistance funding and stillbirth research to families in need. Adoption is very expensive and we wanted to help in some way. There is nothing that can replace the hole in your heart for your child. And it’s because of that hole that we wanted to help others in some way. There is nothing that can replace the whole in your heart for your child. And it’s because of that hole that we wanted to help others in someway. On our web site we will add a star in remembrance of the lost child. We also donate money from every Ornament Safe that we sell on QVC to Carson’s Fund. (www.ornamentsafe.com) I still feel as though stillborn research is not as strong as it could be, and that many go through deaths unnecessarily. I still don’t know what caused my son to die, and probably never will.

Perhaps we could cross-reference our sites to each other? It might be helpful to pull our resources together to help those who walk in the same path that we have walked.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your daughter.

Caroll



Dear Michelle,

A school friend, Joan, sent me the newspaper article on the foundation you have stated in remembrance of Arrianna Rose. It certainly is a wonderful project and I hope it will help you and Andrew with your grief. This is a small donation and I wish you success.

Sincerely,
June
