Our Past History

2016

We lost our precious son, Oliver Paxton, on May 9, 2016 due to a miscarriage. Olie was 9 weeks old in utero when we lost him. Olie's Footprints was born and we sent out our very first keepsakes for families.

2017-2023

We continued to send out packages to families. We created infertility packages, foster care packages, and sibiling keepsakes. We held various events around Ohio and participated in educational activities around the community.
