December 13, 2011 - Note from Pam M. "Unfortunately, but "fortunately" one of Robby's Rabbits was given to parents @ Good Sam yesterday ....this couple's precious little daughter was stillborn. I had tears in my eyes as i sat at the bedside and watched the mom stroke her little rabbit and then bring it to her face and just leave the Rabbit there for the longest time~the rabbit had been wrapped in a blanket with the baby and then given to the parents, the rabbit could be seen in all the pictures that the nurses took .
I KNOW that Rabbit will be treasured forever...thank you "Robby's Rabbits" for your very generous donation to our program at Good Sam...to all your friends and families, Lisa & Kurt, who have participated in this wonderful outreach in memory of your son, Robby~"
