Day 8's Winner in our 15 Days of Giveaways

Patti Frazier is today's donator in our 15 Days of Giveaways. She is also the grandmother of this sweet little angel pictured here. Little Livi was still in utero when her mother was in a terrible car accident. Because of that accident, Livi, passed away. I think sometimes its easy to forget that losing a baby doesn't just effect the parents, but also other family members. For a grandmother, not only does she grieve the loss of her grandchild, but also feels helpless when watching her child(ren) experience something so painful and heartbreaking. It must be so hard to want to take away your child's pain and make everything perfect and right for them.....all while grieving the loss themselves.

Thank heavens for grandma's and their forsight on helping their child as they grieve. Had it not been for DeLanee's grandma, I'm not sure I would have done things like eat, or sleep, or had a clean house or any of those things that grandma's do so well. DeLanee's grandma was patient with me as I went through the grieving process and let me cry and be mad and talk about anything I needed to. When asked how many grandchildren she has, DeLanee is always counted amongst the others and hangs her picture on her Christmas tree with her other grandchildren. These are just some of the things she did to help me to heal....all while grieving herself.

Patti Frazier has always been an avid supporter of Lanee's Legacy and has done so many things for our organization that we have stopped counting. I know she has a special place in her heart for the type of work we do because of this sweet baby and her experience as a grandmother. Thank you to Patti and the way she so willingly shares her talents with our organization. Thank you to all grandmothers out there who quietly and gracefully help their child(ren) go through something such as this.

The winner of this darling craft is Lisa Olsen! Congratulations Lisa!!
