Our beautiful baby grandson died on January 12, 2012 from SIDS,. Our daughter remains distraught which is perfectly normal and devastating and heartbreaking to us, his grandparents. He is Wilhelm Otto Warnke and he will live forever In our hearts and minds. Mitch and his wife were angelic during our tragedy. They gave their services for free. They are among the best. Thank you.
