ST. GEORGE — A southern Utah organization launched by a couple following the loss of their stillborn baby has helped more than 170 families who have lost a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth.
Handcrafted kits are created for these families to capture and preserve the precious memories through keepsakes that can last a lifetime.
The death of a baby can propel a family into a state of crisis and is often accompanied by a crippling shock for many parents who are unprepared for the nightmare they have found themselves in.
Such was the case for Bryce and Nicole Jones, who told St. George News they lost their baby, Lexi Scarlett Jones, who died at 26 weeks gestation and was stillborn in February of last year. The couple entered the hospital pregnant and instead of leaving "with our precious baby," they left with a box, Nicole Jones said.
