I'll keep re-posting too. My mom also posted and so did a colleague. Another friend, from middle school, saw it on my fb and is also asking her dad to get the word out as he is a pilot with Southwest. Looks like there are many Southwest employees in the network from the other posts, but one more can't hurt.

I'm sure you don't remember me, but I met you when I came to a going -way party for Andrea and Jake last summer. At the time I was pregnant and I was so impressed by your calm, fun approach to parenting Hudson. I specifically remember hoping we could pull off the same parenting style. When Jake told me about your loss earlier this year I was heartbroken for you guys. Please know that you and your husband are in my prayers on a regular basis. I wish I could help somehow.

Mandy, I have never met you, Ed or your darling Hudson but your story has changed my perspective when it comes to parenting and gratitude for the present moment. I'm sure that it has for countless others, too. Perhaps that is one other good thing. Sweet Hudson will always be with you, and because of that she will influence the way you parent future children, so she will be forever present in their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239796424430952907.post-34717371984155049482010-09-08T22:55:48.609-04:002010-09-08T22:55:48.609-04:00I have a friend who is a Southwest Airlines flight...I have a friend who is a Southwest Airlines flight attendant based in Las Vegas and regularly works the Oakland/LV flights.
