Our Sweet Angel, Raegan

Hi, my name is Jamie Grieshaber. This is for my dear friend of 20 years, Karin Brock, and her daughter, Ashley Overy, who I have watched grow from early childhood into the amazing woman she is today, I write this request with deep heartache, lament and hope.

Ashley and Hayden have been preparing for their firstborn daughter’s arrival in the coming weeks with love and anxious anticipation.

However, for reasons we will never understand, on December 19th, Raegan Reese Hanscom, came into this world born already an angel. She was perfect in every way: 6.1 pounds, 19 inches long, looked exactly like her mama and already daddy’s little girl.

As this family navigates unfathomable grief, immeasurable loss, and life forever changed, it is my hope, that those whom feel called, might contribute financially to help ease the costs of this tragic event. No amount of money will change the outcome, but to cover them in security of resources and support, may take one worry off their plate. Any size donation is meaningful and relevant.

During this holiday season, please consider this request and hold space for this grieving family.

Dearest Raegan,

You are so incredibly loved, now and always. The loss of your presence; the milestones and memories that will never be, are going to be felt for a lifetime.

Many times, we encounter light that brings us joy and then returns to the source where it came. We deeply miss its warmth and promise, but know we are better because of the time we did have.

We are forever changed, and it is our promise to always look for you in this world, speak your name and celebrate you, until we meet again.
