On June 28, 2022, Sadie Clare Lodge passed away in the arms of her loving parents. Though her life was brief, the love for her is everlasting.

Sadie was diagnosed with Bilateral Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney Disease. Her case was severe and rare- estimated about 1 in 10,000.

While shocked and saddened, Jenna and Ryan are thankful for the moments they had with her. They will cherish those memories forever. Sadie was beautiful; she had an uncanny resemblance to big brother, Quinn.

Many people have asked Jenna and Ryan how they can help. Jenna and Ryan would often work on their gardens while Sadie was happily kicking in her womb. The Lodge family plans to plant a memorial garden to honor Sadie's life, create a place of recluse to remember their baby girl, and engage productively in a family project while grieving.

The family already has a plan for the garden in the works, so helping them would offset financial considerations, but more importantly, allow the space to be comprised and built from the love those have for Sadie and the Lodge Family.

Any donation would allow the family to purchase a perennial in Sadie's name, reminding them each year of your love for them and their sweet baby.

Above all, the family asks for love, prayers, and gentleness at this time. They are grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to them and in true Jenna and Ryan spirit, already have plans of paying your generosity forward and helping those in similar situations.

God bless sweet Sadie Clare. May God hold you in the palm of his hands. +
