Sadly, a few days before she was due to deliver, she noticed that the kicks from Noah were no longer present. Valerie was shocked when she was told by the doctor that Noah had passed away in the womb. The grieving mother had to deliver a stillborn baby, holding her lifeless son for the first and last time.
Understandably, it took the devastated mother a long time to be able to go through all of the items in the nursery. After about a year, she decided to have a yard sale so that she could let go of all of the nursery items. The crib was the hardest item to part with but she felt better knowing that it was going to a nice man named Gerald Kumpula. According to TODAY, the woodworker's wife, Lorene, learned of Noah's story after having a little talk with Valerie.
Valerie was amazed when Gerald came back to her house with the crib that he had remodeled into a beautiful chair. The kindness of a complete stranger in her moment of grief filled Valerie's sad heart.
