Our hearts are with the family of the child that was lost yesterday in Echodale.
We know there are no words that can be said that changes anything or makes anything better. This is an unimaginable hard road that leaves parents, families and friends in shambles in every way possible. There is no road map through the loss of a child. Try to surround yourselves with the people you need in the moment.
Our hearts are broken for you. -The Doll Family
