- from Martine Lunke‎ It is such a sad day today, as Elise, your wonderful daughter, your baby was taken away from your loving care. She should still be with us, with all her life ahead of her. I am so sorry that your family has to go through such deep sorrow. Thank you for sharing your journey with us Laurel. I hope that the love of your family and your friends will help you find your way through this, somehow. I am sending all my love.
