Pregnancy and parenthood both welcome a new form of great love and insurmountable care in each expectant parent's life. Parents are lucky to love their children so deeply, but where there is deep love can come deep grief.

Angela and Adam embraced parenthood earlier than expected, and welcomed their baby girl, Zelda Rae Speichinger, on the morning of June 6, 2024. Sweet Zelda has been so dearly loved throughout their journey in parenthood, from pregnancy to birth, and even now to forever.

Zelda Rae Speichinger graced us with her loving and beautiful presence, but our hearts break as a family to have lost our most wonderful, little bundle of love on June 28, at just 3 weeks old.

Angela and Adam have been surrounded by an incredible amount of love and support from their caring family and friends during these past weeks. All of your love, thoughts, and prayers are truly appreciated as Angela and Adam endure the most difficult and unimaginable time in their lives. We ask that you further support Angela and Adam by donating funds to help relieve their financial stresses while they mourn the loss of their baby girl.

No parent expects the unthinkable to happen. No parent should plan a funeral for their three-week-old daughter. No parent should have to endure the devastation of losing a child. No parent should have to experience their grief while stressing through medical bills or funeral costs to honor their baby. No parent should have to go through their experience of loss alone.

The Legend of Zelda Rae Speichinger: she will live on forever as she is so deeply loved as a daughter, a granddaughter, a great-granddaughter, a cousin, a niece, and a beautiful member of the Nienhaus and Speichinger families.

Her life and legacy will be honored with love, compassion, and fondness as we hold her closely in our hearts forever. Thank you for your support to the Nienhaus and Speichinger families.
