Notes
Julia was born on her mother's birthday and died the next day. She was very tiny, just a little over a pound, but she had all her fingers and toes and even had some short blonde hair.
Julia was born too early. Her little lungs were not strong enough to see her through.
Cheryl, Julia's mother, never thought she would, or even could, have a second child. Then she found out Julia was on the way. Julia came along at a very sad time in Cheryl's life, having just lost her mother, Julia Castellaw, earlier in the year.
After Julia's death, Cheryl could only reason that Julia had been a real angel--sent down from heaven to help her bear the grief of losing her mother. She was never meant to stay. Cheryl became completely consumed with the thought of having another child. Three years later, Alexander Nicholas Carroll was born--on his grandmother Julia's birthday.
