Thank You
to those who journeyed with Gianna
Dr. Jacobs
For loving us and Gianna as if we were your own, for all the compassion you showed while gracefully maintaining the realism of our journey, for checking in on us because you cared, and for your clinical expertise and leadership, "thank you" will never be enough.
Clinical Team
For taking the time to understand our story, for ensuring that all those involved in Gianna's care understood and sympathized, and for caring for us without judgement, thank you.
Beloved & special thanks to Melissa, Jennifer, Ginny, Tanya, Karen, & Jessica.
Tracey, NILMDTS
For sharing your personal story with us and for your time and artistic talent that gifted us with memories of our sweet Gianna, we thank you for giving us what can never be redone and something tangible that preserves her existence.
Nha Khanh, Designer
For opening your creative mind and reaching deep into your soul as a mother as you designed the most immaculate gown possible for our angel, for meticulously crafting every element from the delicately stitched lace to her headband, and for your kind words that brought so many tears in a special way, thank you.
Friends
For taking the time to listen, for not offering advice, but rather, love, for speaking Gianna's name just as she is and will always be, and for your endless prayers during and after, thank you.
Special thanks to the mommies of Trisomy 18 babies Michael, Carlin and Camden, who responded when we desperately sought guidance and who continue to walk the road with us. We joyfully think of Gianna with your sweet babies.
Family
For loving your sweet granddaughter and niece the moment you learned of her entry to this world, for standing by us as we quietly suffer, for praying not for a miracle, but rather, for strength to trust in God, for crying with us as we held her, and for loving and keeping Gianna present in our family all the days to come, we love you so much.
Long, Brother
For the time you spent away from your own family just to capture priceless memories of our little family and for sharing your craft to preserve Gianna's life and sanctity, thank you.
