We are heartbroken to announce that our son, Baby Cole, was stillborn on January 7, 2023.
He was wanted, he is loved and he will be missed.
We are grateful for the outpouring of heartfelt love and support from family and friends, as well as the compassionate care we received from our midwives and the staff at the Ottawa General Hospital.
For the present, we need time and space to grieve; however, we would welcome personal messages here.
In lieu of flowers, we are suggesting donations be made to Roger Neilson House.
Sincerely,
Anya and Martin
