     Stillborn Moffat was stillborn on 24 June 1980 at Royal Alexandra Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.1
     The following biographical information is from my (Rick Moffat's) personal knowledge or recollections, 2000:
This baby was about 5 months in term. We were so stunned we never even thought of burial, or of asking the sex of the child. We have often wondered about twins since Dr. Nelson checked Carole so early for twins in her next pregnancy.

This still birth caught us so unawares that we did not have time to think through details. I have always regreted that we did not provide a burial for our stillborn child.

We did place a rose from our yard in Strathcona Baptist Church in memory of the child during a service shortly after, and we have a picture of Carole holding the rose.1
