a remembrance and fundraising concert
wednesday, december 17th 2014
We were contacted to put on a concert in dedication to the daughter of Jessica and Adam Weischedel, Edith Auburn of Sioux Falls, SD. On the morning of October 28, 2014, Jessica and Adam went into labor on her due date. An emergency c-section was needed and Jess awoke to her sweet daughter born asleep. The doctors weren't able to resuscitate her and she passed before she took her first breath. Edith Auburn was born 6 lbs 15 oz. 20 inches long with a head full of dark beautiful hair.
Adam reached out to us to see if we would be available to host an intimate acoustic show in Edith's name as a benefit for the, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Organization. The NILMDTS organizations is committed to assisting parents and families experiencing early infant loss. NILMDTS connects families with voluteer photographers who donate the gift of infant remembrance photography.
