GOD BLESS ALL THAT ARE HELPING. MEAGAN IS WITH JESUS WE KNOW THAT. BUT THE HOLE IN MOM AND DAD'S HEART IS HUGE. PRAY FOR THE FAMILY AND DONATE WHAT YOU CAN. THANKS.

Therefore, do some homework before making a comment like that on THIS page. Why don't you keep your harsh comments to yourself and donate something to help the family or are you one of the greedy ones here. My check is in the mail also......may the family find peace and comfort during this tragic time in their lives.

No monetary amount could make things better. But, every bit helps financially. My check is on it's way. I wish family and friends peace during their difficult time. God bless! @DJC

I for one have lost a child at birth. Say the funeral home does do the funeral for free, you are forgetting the burial permit they have to buy, the plot to bury their child and also the marker and slab for their child which can add up VERY quickly. I agree with "concerned" donate to help them out if you are so concerned about it. "RIP sweet Angel" Funeral Homes do bury children and more often than you would think.

I will contribute, as we all should if we are able, but I don't accept the argument that they are a business and they'll go broke if they do this. Funeral homes bury VERY FEW children.

It should also say that it takes a village to bury one also! No family is prepared for this kind of tragedy. It is the furthest thing from our minds. While it is every parents worse fear, it is also the last thing we think is going to happen to us. I know if something like this happened to my child I would be totally useless to anyone for a long long time. We need to pull together and at least ease the financial burden that's been placed on on this family. They truly have enough on their minds right now. While reading about this accident I can't help but think of Hunter Fromm. Almost a year ago that he too was taken too early from his loved ones, hug your kids everyday because you never know............. There’s an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child.

You seem so concerned about someone making a profit. Maybe the funeral home will do it for cost, but they have to also pay expenses . They have tragedies that come thru their doors all the time. Should they give everyone a funeral? I am not against helping this family but the churches and Christains should do the right here and help this family, not just ask one funeral home to bear the expense. I know the good people of this area will help and the family will be appreciative of their help. I will be donating and I hope a lot more good people will also.
