TARGET: Gift Fund Ideas

["anita.nagel" <anita.nagel@PRRD.AB.CA>]

Dear LM Netters,

A teacher in our school has just had a miscarriage.  As you can imagine,
this is devastating for her and her husband as they have been trying to
have a baby for a long time.  We, as a staff are not sure how to handle
this.  She has already, through her husband, requested that we not send
her flowers.  She is quite devastated as she had an ultrasound and saw the
baby's heartbeat a couple of weeks ago.  This is so heartwrenching!  They
are a wonderful couple and I would like to know if any of you have any
ideas as to what we could do, send or say that could help in some small
way.  I can relate to her because my husband and I tried for 13 years
before we were blessed with one child through the Artificial Insemination
program (I'm 40 years old with a six year old - most of my friend's kids
are off to college!).  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Poems?
