Tri-State parents take time to remember the children they've lost.
With songs, candles, and stories, a small group gathered at Methodist Hospital's chapel in Henderson, to grieve the babies they've lost to miscarriages, still birth, or newborn death. They also rang a bell for each baby lost at Methodist this year.
It's the 4th year for the hospital's perinatal memorial service. One organizer who lost her child 22 years ago says taking a day to remember is important, no matter how much time has passed.
Traditionally, the group releases balloons as part of the service, but the windy conditions brought them inside for a more intimate gathering.
