Hi all,
I'd like to suggest on Wednesday we hold a virtual candlelight vigil on the LGBT board for Manada & Healz413's lost little girls, Tavin & Casey. Here's how it works:
1. On Wednesday, each of us posts a separate post with the same title "
Remembering Tavin Sara & Casey Elizabeth"
2.
Please hold all other posts and comments until Thursday so the only posts on Wednesday that will show will have the above title on the LGBT board.
3. In your message, post a picture of two candles (for the two babies). Here is a link you can use to add the PIP:
https://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/26/2672/DN6UD00Z/posters/keith-levit-two-candles.jpg - or, you can use any candle photo you like.

4. Add any personal message if you'd like for Manada and Healz413, Tavin and Casey.
Be sure to TAG Manada & Healz413. 5. Do not add on to others' posts - each should be separate to pile the messages for the biggest impact for them.
If you haven't read about their heartbreaking loss on June 18, their post is here (

Thank you. We are heartbroken, and have so much love for our babies, and are also not really sure what to do with ourselves and are fearful of both being alone and being out in the world.
Thank you especially for remembering our girls. Tavin and Casey were beautiful, and we are grateful for the fact that they had each other, and that we got to know them just a little bit while they were inside. It makes me so sad to think there is a world that will not know them, and so I appreciate you all keeping them, and us, in your hearts and thoughts.
We are devastated. We don't know how to go forward, except that we have the foundation of our relationship with each other left, and so we are taking comfort in each other.
I am not often able to be here, but @healz413 is letting me know we are in your hearts and thoughts.
