Josie Amelia Edwards would have been 4 years old on March 25, 2022. Her family continued a tradition they began in Josie’s honor, who was stillborn, by donating baskets to Blessing Hospital to share with families who experience a stillbirth.
The 11 baskets donated this year contain items the Edwards family feel will be helpful to parents who experience infant loss.
Amy, Dustin and son Payton Edwards received $1,000 to create the baskets from family and friends and another $1,000 from Joshua Schenk of Thrivent Financial.
Holly Woodruff, RN, nurse educator for Blessed Beginnings and facilitator of the SHARE support group for parents who have lost children, accepted the baskets.
