Hi Steve,
I remember this picture with the child & bear. Yes she has a completely 
different look, as you say, like carved out of marble while sleeping. What a 
shame to lose such a young one. :-( I wanted to say more but in this case I 
just can't put words to screen. We see your wonderful pictures so often with 
never a thought the child may not make it.

However, when we hear of losing one that we know from your pictures, I like 
many others I'm sure, feel the loss far more than if we had not known the 
infant through the picture.

But your wonderful child captured moments must continue, because without a 
doubt you give great pleasure to so many parents and others like those on 
the list.
