Blair Aubry Brockmeyer : We are honoring our sweet angel, Blair Aubrey Brockmeyer. She was born on October 28, 2024, and passed peacefully on October 30, 2024. She was our firstborn child—the love we didn’t know our hearts were missing. I was diagnosed with Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, and we delivered her at 22 weeks and 6 days. Though her time with us was only 48 precious hours, they were the most beautiful and meaningful hours of our lives. We love her deeply and miss her every single day. 

Hazel Ranae Austin : At our 20-week ultrasound, we received the heartbreaking news that our baby girl was sick and wouldn’t survive. On June 17th, 2025, we welcomed Hazel Ranae into the world and were blessed with 40 precious minutes to hold her in our arms before she gained her angel wings. Though Hazel’s time with us was short, her impact is everlasting. We will continue to honor her memory by sharing her story — for her, and for every family walking a similar journey.

In Summary, 

Tasha and I are sister. We lost our angel babies just 9 months apart. From 48 hours to 40 minutes we loved our children deeply and fiercely. Nobody should ever have to go through the pain and heartbreak of losing a Child.
