| In Loving Memory Of Cassidy Brianne |
| In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March7,2000 my husband discovered our baby's lifeless body when he came home from work. I had taken the baby to bed with me, as I was nursing, only 2 hours prior to his arrival. When I carried Cassie into our room she was very much alive. She almost woke up when I laid her down. I administered C.P.R. while my husband called 911 When the paramedics arrived, they worked on her awhile, and then took her to the hospital in the ambulance. We arrived at the hospital within 30 minutes and it was very quite. No one would tell us anything. I knew that was a bad sign. I grew tired of waiting for answers so I walked over to the bed where our baby girl lay. All the doctors and nurses just stared at me. I asked them if she would be all right. They continued to stare. I asked them a second time if she was okay, but still no answer. I walked over to her bed and I knew the Lord had called our baby girl home. The following week she would have been 4 months old. |

| Sweet Baby Girl 5 Days Old |
| I'll lend you for a while a child of mine he said For you to love while she lives and mourn for when she is dead. It may be 6 or 7 years- fifteen or twenty-three But, will you, until I call her back,take care of her for me? She'll bringher charm to gladden you and should her stay be brief You'll always have her memories as solice for your grief. I can not promise she will stay since all from life return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn I've looked the whole world over in search for teachers true And from,the throngs that crowds lifes lanes I have selected you Now will you give her all your love nor think the labor vain Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again And then I'm sure I heard him say "Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done" For all the joy the child shall bring, the risk for grief will run. We'll shelter her with tenderness we'll love her while we may And, for the happiness we've known forever greatful stay But, should the angel call her much sooner than we planned We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand |
| I am so glad that Cassie was given to you so you could teach her how it felt to be truely loved....Amy |

| In this portrait we are a family of five Until SIDS took our baby... she is no longer alive Only in our hearts and minds her memories remain forever more Since Cassidy has gone away we are a family of four Oh how we miss her and what would she be We never got to say goodbye Because she was asleep Cassidy left to soon she never got to crawl or walk She learned to whisper little secrets But she never learned to talk We are not an angry family For what has happened to us For we know that the Lord is in control And it is in him we trust All we want is to have her back So our lives can be complete A chance to hug and kiss her and to tickle her little feet We miss our sweet little Sassie More than anyhting else in the world She wasn't just any baby She was our razzle-dazzle sunshine girl! Now Cassie floats on soft, white clouds In the wonderous Heavens above She is surrounded by Angels and receives their love We will never know the answers As to why our baby died However, we can warn others SIDS info must not be denied! There is no cure for SIDS as you all may well know You can help reduce the risks and watch your infant grow Cassidy is our Angel now This loss we mourn and grieve Please take the necessary precautions: Read the information you receive In loving memory of Cassidy Brianne Ihnken November 15, 1999-March 7, 2000 |
