“WE REMEMBER”

By: Kathleen, Director of Membership  |  September 2, 2025


Along with their families, SMMC continues to celebrate these lives and grieve their loss.


Emme Jane Vita
September 23, 2021 – August 6, 2023



Learn about the foundation in her name, which will support bereaved moms who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth or the loss of a child. If you’ve experienced this kind of trauma, and want to connect, join SMMC’s “Grief & Loss Support” WhatsApp and look for an upcoming gathering coordinated by angel mom Ashley Keightley. 

Jenny Hodkinson-Ashford
April 29, 1990 – August 1, 2024



The final message Jenny sent to her playgroup last July, days before she died from pancreatic cancer. On the first anniversary of her passing, her husband Charlie wanted to share Jenny’s own words with the entire SMMC community.
