Sonne is Free

It is with a heavy heart that we write this entry.  It seems so unreal to us.

Yesterday we said goodbye to our precious Sonne.  Despite all our hope and the positive energy and prayers of family, friends and a multitude of strangers, despite the efforts of the surgical team and the team of the CTICU, including her nurse who gave up her day off to care for her again yesterday, her little heart could not recover from the trauma of the surgery.

She passed away peacefully in our arms with her Uncle Rod bestowing a blessing upon her.  Her Aunt Susie, Nana and sister shared the moment as well.

In lieu of flowers, we would ask that donations be made in Sonne's name to the hospital which cared for her.  We will be posting that information shortly.

Sonne was and shall remain our sunshine.  As her Uncle Rod said, "You came from light, you became the light and now you return to light."

  1. As a parent I can't imagine weathering such a devastating blow. All I can do is offer my humblest sympathies and ask that you look forward to the day when you can all be together again. Until then, little one - shine on.

  9. Hetzel Family,
    I will never forget Sonne's sweet smiles as she listened to the Beatles and reached out and entertained herself with her animal crib mobile. It was an honor to care for her and was very saddened to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Give Morgan a big kiss from me.
    Love,
    Ani (CV Acute RN)
