Default Stajan loses a family member. Donations info added to first post. Returns to practice

Quote:
It is with great sadness we inform that Katie and Matt Stajan are grieving the loss of their son, Emerson Stajan. Emerson passed away Monday, March 3, 2014, following childbirth.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Katie and Matt at this difficult time. We appreciate that everyone has and will continue to respect their privacy during this period.

A private memorial service will take place in the ensuing days.

MOD EDIT: Donations information added:

Donations in honour of Emerson Stajan
A number of people have expressed interest in making a donation in honour of Emerson.

We've learned the Calgary Flames are supporting Katie and Matthew by managing donations through the Flames Foundation for Life. The dollars raised will support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Foothills Hospital or the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.

You can send your donation:

BY MAIL:
Flames Foundation for Life
Scotiabank Saddledome
PO Box 1540, Station M,
Calgary AB T2P 3B9

BY GOING ONLINE
Go to www.calgaryflames.com/foundation and click “DONATE NOW.”

** Include with your donation (mail or online) that it's being made in honour of Emerson Stajan and where you want your gift to go - either the NICU or the Children’s Hospital.

Thank you.

I went to a lunch with Ken King on Monday and he mentioned this. I didn't think it was appropriate to post, but it was tough to bite my tongue (or fingers in this case) whenever people posted about his leave of absence.

There aren't many worse things in life you can experience. Condolences to Matt and Katie.

OMFG. I am a father of 3. I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my precious kids. Brings tears to my eyes.

Stajan family, my family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

I can't imagine anything worse than losing a child. It must be completely life shattering.

No words can be said that can comfort the Stajans. Such sadness.
