Hello friends... For those of you who haven't heard, our beloved friend Tina Hagenbuch died during childbirth, leaving behind a grief stricken father and three seriously premature babies. We are surrounding Tina's husband with as much love and support as we can....but the pain and grief he is feeling is something we cannot even describe. We know what we are feeling personally and we can only imagine it's a million times worse for him. We have established a memorial fund for Jeff to hopefully raise enough money for him to have some full time help from either a nurse or a nanny when the babies do finally come home. If you are a parent, you know how hard it is to care for one newborn with a spouse, much less three premature ones and a deceased wife. he tragedy is unspeakable. We are asking you to please find it in your heart to help out in any way you can. We know all the money in the world won't bring our dear friend back, but perhaps if we can lighten dad's load we might be able to make things a little smoother for the babies. The information is as follows: Checks Payable To: Jeffrey Hagenbuch Memo Line: "Tina's Memorial Fund" Address: Consumer's Credit Union, 5940 Gull Road, Kalamazoo, MI 49048 Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone that might be able to help. With love and a heavy, heavy heart.....9/6/2007
