Her legacy
March of Dimes  

Our family will continue to support the March of Dimes in Isabella's memory for the rest of our lives. They were there for us, and we will continue to be there for them.

Ways that we will raise money - 

We will walk each year in the March of Dimes WalkAmerica campaign.

We will participate in March of Dimes events as we are able to.

We will volunteer the services of Fast Lane Entertainment for any March of Dimes event.

We will proudly wear our March of Dimes t-shirts in support of their organization.

We will proudly display our March of Dimes ribbon on our car in support of their organization.


Preemie Clothes & Bed Liners  
Janice was recently given a sewing machine to make clothes and bed liners for preemie babies. Right now she is in need of donations of fabric with matching thread.

The bed liners would be pink and blue fabrics, with some that are green or purple. That would distinguish the boys from the girls and help the doctors. Billy and Janice were frequently told how "HE" was doing when a doctor was discussing Isabella. The green and purple are for babies that are twins, triplets or more.

The dress that Isabella was buried in was donated to Janice and Billy at the hospital. A small group of women in Gainesville makes small clothes for the very small babies. There was no possible way that Janice or Billy could have purchased a dress for Isabella that would have fit her appropraitely. The preemie outfits in stores were just too large.
Angel Teddy Bear Foundation  
Janice has become a volunteer with this Foundation. They deliver teddy bears to hospitals, funeral homes, and support groups. The bears are for mothers and families that have lost a baby due to miscarriage, stillborn, or neonatal death. The teddy bears are adorned with a card that directs the family to the Angel Teddy Bear Foundation website, which includes a support group that has been very helpful to Janice.

Update - May 2007 - Janice has been made a State Director for the Angel Teddy Bear Foundation. She oversees volunteers in four states for the organization, as well as making donations to hospitals in her area.

The Foundation is always looking for donations, in the form of monetary or new teddy bears. You can donate directly at their website -  www.Angelteddybears.org.
Children's Miracle Network  
Where possible our family will also support Children's Miracle Network as it directly relates to Shands. If you are able to purchase a balloon, do so in loving memory of Isabella. Walmart is a large supporter of Children's Miracle Network, and they are frequently doing fundraisers for them.
