Gerard Francis Gretencord
Tuesday we learned that Baby G V, died. We would have been 9 weeks pregnant this week. We were hopeful a couple of weeks ago when our ultrasound showed a beating heart. But our baby didn’t develop past 6w 1d. God had different plans for this baby and our family.
We named him Gerard Francis because we learned about our little blessing on the Feast of St. Gerard, and Francis because of all the animals that have been attracted to our home (and Fulton’s fascination with St. Francis).
Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. I will go into surgery for a D&C. I opted this route because our last miscarriage was rather traumatic and I didn’t want to go through that again with the kids around. I’m scared but I think this is the best thing for our family. Thank you for any prayers you can offer.
Dear Gretencords,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your child. Me and Katie’s prayers are with you.
The Roses
Danielle and I will also be praying for God’s peace, and comfort, as well as His provision and protection tomorrow, and throughout this time.
Oh, Sharon, I’m so sorry. I did not know that you were expecting and can only imagine your pain. Please be assured of my prayers.
We are praying for you and Adam at this difficult time. Our hearts are breaking for your sakes, but as you said, God did have other plans. We pray you find some consolation in the fact that you have another intercessor in heaven with little Michael to pray for your family. We miss you and love you guys very much. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you. Until then, we send you big hugs and prayers from all of us.
I am so sorry to hear this sad news! You and Adam and Baby Gerard are in my prayers! Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
We are so sorry to hear this and will be praying for your family.
The Garcias
Please let us know if there is anything we can do. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We are so sorry to hear your sad news and will be thinking of you & praying for you tomorrow and in the coming weeks. I understand your concerns about the D&C procedure, but I had the procedure after I miscarried our first child, and didn’t have any ill effects. I expect you will find the same to be true for you. If there is anything we can do, including keeping the kids during your recovery, please do not hesitate to ask. We will send our little Hope & Noah to greet your Gerard Francis at heaven’s gate!
The Andrews Family
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet baby. May Our Lady hold your family under her mantle of peace and love. May little Gerard rest in peace!
Oh Sharon and Adam, if I only knew what to say. You are in our prayers, and like Jenny, may all our little ones enjoy the glory of heaven! Please let us know if you need anything.
You know you are, and have been, in our daily prayers and Masses. We are so comforted to see the support of all your lovely friends. Everyone should be so blessed to have such faithful, kind, and loving friends. May God grant you every comfort and consolation through His most loving Mother!
Mom & Dad
I am so sorry for your loss! You all will deifinitely be in my prayers!
Dear Sharon and Adam,
There is nothing I could say to console you in your pain, except that we are here praying for you and imploring the mercy of God.
May His peace that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts.
