From the press release:
February 1, 2012) Staff at The Baby Place at Park Ridge are honoring the memory of Shelby Sprowls Wilkie through a gift program that will present every first-time mom at The Baby Place in 2012 with a free copy of the best-selling book Baby 411. Shelby, a 38-year-old Hendersonville resident, was killed in a domestic violence attack in early January – just three months after she delivered her baby, Sydney, at Park Ridge Health.
In remembrance of Shelby and in honor of baby Sydney, each copy of Baby 411 distributed at The Baby Place will carry a sticker that reads, “This book presented in remembrance of Shelby for her daughter, Sydney. Given to celebrate the precious gift of life and in tribute of a mother’s enduring love.”
Each donated book costs $7.50 and will be matched with a copy of Expecting 411 to be distributed to Open Arms Crisis Pregnancy Center or Asheville Pregnancy Support Services.
