Victoria and Kenton,
You do not know us but, when I saw Ethan’s obituaray I had to contact you. We live around Green Center in between Albion and Busco. We lost a son almost 2 months ago. I was at my 28 week Doctors appointment when they found no heartbeat. That was the worst day of our lives, so I know what you are going through. I have had a lot of help from friends that have unfortunatley went through this. I do not know exactly what happened or your situation, but I do know how much people have helped me. I just want to let you know you are not alone and if you do not know anyone who has went through this, please feel free to contact me.(693-2769)
Accept the things you cannot change, Embrace the promise of tomorrow.
Aaron and Michelle Pippenger

Kent, I just ran into your sister today. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. My husband and I also lost our first child. We found comfort in each other and developing a deeper relationship with God. Also, someone once told me that perhaps my child’s spirt would some day be born at another place in time…..I found that very comforting. We are expecting again, and God willing we will meet that same spirit that was not lost but saved…..for another place in time. Whatever your beliefs, remember that you are not alone. We will keep you and your wife in our thoughts and prayers.
