The Family's Story
In January 2013, the Markle family went for dinner at a restaurant on the shore of Lake Minnetonka. On the way home, Amanda’s husband chose to drive across the frozen lake. Going through a channel, the ice broke and the family’s car sank. Amanda, her husband and their 2 ½ year old daughter were able to exit the car. Their 9-month-old baby, Tabitha, was trapped in her car seat until rescue crews could free her. Tabitha was transported to Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia, where her breathing was restored. She was then airlifted to Children’s Minnesota - Minneapolis where her brain function, heartbeat and breathing were monitored. After three days, the doctors determined there was no sign of brain function and Tabitha was pronounced dead. The words written in this book are the words Amanda used when talking to their surviving child about her baby sister.
