Help Janette and Dean remember Gracelynn

Donation protected
My name is Bre and I’m raising money for my best friends Janette and Dean. They tried for years to get pregnant with no luck. They finally went and got testing and found out Janette had endometriosis. They did a few rounds of IVF with no luck. They decided to wait while they were paying off the bills of the IVF before they tried again. In the meantime they ended up getting pregnant on their own completely unexpectedly!! This was amazing news and a complete miracle! I remember telling Janette that I thought she was pregnant and that I think she should just take a test! Sure enough the next day she texts me saying that she was pregnant! I cried for her because I was so excited! Then came all of the planning for their little blessing! Her due date was October 12th! Finally October 13th, Janette texted me asking for my opinion if I thought that she could be in the start of labor! We had talked all throughout the day! She went in for a labor check and everything was good or so we thought. She got sent home because it wasn’t quite time yet. So the plan was for her to come over after I got off work so we could go for a walk to keep this process going because we were ready meet this princess! Then her contractions got worse and she was going to get ready to head to the hospital instead! But when she got to the hospital, they said they couldn’t find the heartbeat. This is something nobody ever wants to hear, let alone when you think you are going to the hospital to meet your baby girl! Janette ended up being a complete trooper and delivering an absolutely beautiful baby girl on October 14th and 10:35pm named Gracelynn Mae Bratcher only she was born sleeping I am raising this money to help with cremation, hospital bills, testing to find out what may have happened, and anything else that they may end up needing help with during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers to help them heal.

I will also add the Dean is a volunteer firefighter for Magnolia Fire Department so he is a local hero! Let’s repay them for his service as well!
