This post is dedicated to my beautiful niece, Abbigale Olivia Wentz.

February 25, 2005 - September 18, 2006

Though it's been more than a year, our hearts still ache for her. None more so than my sister and her family. Abbi's story is told on her website: www.abbigale-wentz.virtual-memorials.com/ As mothers, fathers, granparents, aunts, and uncles, we strive to make our homes a place of peace and safety. I have very few memories of Abbi, which I regret more than anything. I've always lived further away and didn't make the time to visit like I should have. You always assume that you will have unlimited time with the ones you love. She was a "Mommy's Girl" like nothing else. Anytime I would hold her, she'd look around for my sister and cry for mom. She was a thumb sucker. I used to pull her thumb out of her mouth repeatedly just to see what she would do. It would make her mad. When we went to a swimming party for my mom's work, I gave her a peanut butter finger. She really liked me then. When she was born, I used to hold her and tell her that I was her favorite aunt and that I would always have candy, gum, and stickers for her. I want to make as many people aware of the dangers of corded window treatments as I possibly can. There are NO safe blinds with cords. A great website to refer to: http://www.pfwbs.org/ Please let others know. Pass this website along. Let's keep our kids safe!
