And God smiles...

There is a lady that lives in Yucaipa, the town next to where I live who has, for the last several years, buried all the forgotten babies who were killed or abandoned or born dead or simply left in a trash can in a section of the Cherry Valley cemetary that is now called "The Garden of Angels". She makes sure each one has a name and is given a proper Christian burial. She is a very sweet lady who grieves for each one as if it were her own. My wife just told me she has won the California State Lottery and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving. This news put a lump in my throat and I had to share it with someone so I thought since each one of us knows in his or her heart that if ever man heard the voice of God then surely it must have been in a garden, this would strike you as it has me. To me my garden is my refuge and my " little slice of Heaven". Enjoy yours-Bagpypr Here's her website address-http://www.gardenofangels.org

I've seen articles on tv and read articles in magazines about this lady. What a wonderful story. Thanks for letting us know!

Yep...I saw the news last week about her and her husband winning that lottery, and what they will do w/the money. Glad they have gotten "reimbursed" so they can continue their work!

Great when a Plan falls together, ain't it!

This is truly a wonderful story and a great thing to happen to such a caring person. I really welled up telling the ladies at work about it the other day. :)

Great story. I really know people,who if they won a Million bucks, would complain about what to do with it. "The government would tax me, my relatives would hound me." My chances of winning are slim. I don;t buy tickets. I don't advise anyone else to.Your investment is better in Hershey Bars. You won't lose money over a couple weeks, and if you get any profits, eat them.

Wow, I'm really speechless. This woman has taken such a heartbreaking situation for so many babies and given them some degree of dignity in a way that is so beautiful. If anyone deserved that lottery win, it surely was her. .....the website is really awe inspiring. Thank you so much for posting this information.
