No one can even begin to understand your grief in the loss of your baby girl, except those that have been through such loss. Seek those that truly understand when and if you need to talk, but remember your precious memories & happiness in having given her life and love.

JG says
I am so sorry to read about your loss. To lose a child is beyond my comprehension; your pain must be immeasurable. I know that there are no words that I can say to take away your pain but please take comfort in knowing that death is only a temporary part of life. (John 5:28,29) Although your time with Ruth was far too short, you can have the hope of being reunited with her forever, under perfect circumstances. (Revelation 21:4) In the meantime, even though the pain may at times seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure. (Psalm 94:17-19) Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.
Cheryl Tonn says
To you, Jackie and your family… you don’t know me. I am so shocked and saddened yet for your loss of your precious beautiful little girl. I am a mother of three and now a grandmother of two little girls and I can’t comprehend the depth of your pain. I pray for God to give you comfort, peace and understanding in the many years to come that you will grieve.
