Prayers for a Grieving Alumni Family
Please pray for Anna-Marie (Langley ’20) and Peter Gardner (’17), as well as their baby, Irenaea Marie. Irenaea Marie passed away at full term during labor on June 29 due to an undetected complication. Please pray for the repose of her soul and for the consolation of her parents and extended family.
On a GoFundMe page she has created to help the couple with funeral and medical expenses, Catherine Langley (’13) writes:
As Anna-Marie’s sister, my heart is breaking for her and Peter. They have just come home without the little girl they have been so excited to see for 9 months.
As I have seen them hold her body with such tenderness and love and return home without her, I keep remembering joy, care, and expectation with which they prepared for this little one. I think about the safest carseat that has been in the car for weeks, the perfect bag packed with baby clothes to take her home in, even the perfectly researched baby diaper bin sitting at the ready. I remember Anna glowing with happiness at the baby shower, her joy at Irenaea’s first kick, her delight when the baby bump finally showed, exuberance about the baby ultrasound pictures. Anna was even half-gleeful about morning sickness because it meant that the baby was coming.
Now they are without the baby they care so much for, with a grief that will last until they are reunited with her in God’s love.
For those in the Houston area, the Rosary and funeral will be held on July 8-9. Please keep Irenaea Marie, her parents, and the Langley and Gardner families in your prayers.
