Mrs. Blocker,

Thank you so much for all of your work to educate others about this illness! You and Melanie have provided great life models for all. Though it's not the same as having her 'here on earth', I hope it is comforting to see Melanie in Sommer's eyes.

God bless you

May our Almighty God bless your family for all that you do in the name of Melanie. I knew her when she was a young teenager; such a beautiful girl, especially from the her heart. God had a perfect plan for Melanie and He has a perfect plan for all of us. You will always be in my prayers.

Terrible tragedy. The thing I don't quite understand is this: is it either a good thing or a bad thing to be a pharmaceutical sales manager?

I was blessed to have both Carol and Melanie Blocker in my life as a pre-teen. I have never forgotten the great kindness and warmth that they showed me during a particularly difficult time in my life. Melanie and Mrs. Blocker were a godsend to me. Although I lost contact with them both, through the years, my admiration for both of them will never ever end. Mrs. Blocker, thank you for introducing Melanie to me, and Melanie thank you for sharing your mom with me. Mrs. Blocker you still rock! You taught me to always push through adversity--I have and will with you in mind always.

BTW: The AOL article was well done. OUTSTANDING WORK CAROL!

I will always love the Blocker family as my own. Melanie I miss your smile. I miss your friendship. I miss YOU! Love you forever! Fred Bates

Carol,

My husband Carlos and I met you in Borders Bookstore on Memorial Day. I went on your website that week. I just want you to know that the work you have done is so needed and shows such great honor and dedication to your beautiful daughter Melanie.

The Lord is truely divine in the way he works in that I would be going to an event at my friend's house who is an OB/GYN just minutes after I met you. I gave my friend your cards. I also got to speak to a midwife at the event.

I promise to pass this resource on to anyone that can use it. I am also so glad that my husband got a chance be reminded of Melanie's story as he sees many post-partum patients.

God bless you and your beautiful grandaughter Sommer and may the Lord continue to use both of your lives to do great works.

With Love,

Samara and Carlos Crudup + (Carly 3 yrs. and Caden 1 yr.)

CAROL...DOUBLE KUDOES!!!

CAROL...KUDOES TO YOU!

Hi my name is Shannon and I just read the article in the paper today about your family's struggle and the law being passed. First I just want to say I am so sorry for your loss , but thank you for doing your part for this cause. My son just turned a year and about 3 months after he was born post-partum hit me like a freight train I was in a out of the hospital 3 times and took a overdose of ambien because I could not sleep and was having dellusions. I am healthy now and am loving every moment with my child. I have a hard time with grieving the moments I lost when in the hospital. I actually got a apoligy from my doctors for not giving me the best care. But where is the awarness in this profession. I am very passionate about this cause and actually would like to get involved in work or volunteer if you know of any organizations please let me know. Thanks again for your fight Sincerely, Shannon and her son

Ms. Carol, I was truly moved by Melanie's story. I, too, can relate to some of what your family has gone through, and I must say that it takes a tremendous heart to be able to not only share your baby's story, but also to become that VOICE-- that advocate for others who, unfortunately can not speak for themselves and, more often than not, have no one to walk that journey with them. You are truly a GOD SEND! Little Ms.Summer is a very special & lucky child to have someone who will keep her mom's legacy alive, bring her illnes to the forfront, and ensure that that baby, and so many others, know that IN NO WAY are they to blame!!! Many blessings to you!

Thinking of Melananie on this Memorial Day !

Hi Carol,
God bless you in all your wonderful efforts. My sincere sympathy for losing your daughter. I just hope your story truly opens eyes to this issue. Good luck with everything.....

Carol - I'm so sorry to read Melanie's story. I knew Melanie briefly when she was a child. I believe you and I knew each other when we both attended attended Jr College in Chicago.

Peace to you...Phill

God Bless You and your Family and I hope the best for your effort. I would like to know how I can help anyone. In my country we believe that after postpartum , you have to take care of yourself for 40 days , or you risk your mental health. I had a aunt that suffer from postartum pshycosis for more than 40 years, she never recovery .

I am glad you told your story, I also had this with my first son not as bad but being angry,sad,and the feeling of not knowing what was wrong with me,my mom took my son alot,I was scared. It took so long to get my mental state back. I so sorry for your loss. I am so glad you are doing what you are doing. I wish I would have knowen and could have been helped. My son is now is going to be 22 and love him and we are very close.

I went to Spelman with Melanie and I remember her being beautiful, friendly and lots of fun. I was saddenend to hear about her losing her battle to this terrible disease. Thank you so much for keeping Melanie's story and now Melanie's Law in forefront and fighting for those who have no voice and suffer in silence with this disease. May GOD bless you your granddaughter, son in law and your whole family. Keeping you in prayer.

May God bless this tremendous work...although birthed in tragedy, may you experience joy through the many lives that will be saved as a result of your unselfishness and compassion.

Just finished reading you daughters story it was very touching.God Bless you for being there for your grandbaby. May God give you the strength to continue on your journey.
