	Milly, it may have meant that she was just not strong enough to live. Sad isn't it? I have a couple of children's deaths in my paternal tree which say that they died of whatever it was.... followed up by "IDIOT"... What a lovely description for a child! Deanna X

	Glad we have come so far as to understand that we may be hurting our poor parents who lose a child. All children are loved by their parents.... regardless. Bless them all. Deanna X
