(Following is a testimonial that I received via the e-mail from some very special people that will always share a special place in my heart. I wanted to share their thoughts and feelings with you).

“It has been three months since the birth and passing of our Linkin Paul Fisher. If you have read the story of “The Littlest Soldier” then you know our whole story and if not I would encourage you to do so. It all started on June 9th 2008 when we received the news about our son (Linkin Paul) who would die at birth. The hospital informed us about an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. When we got home my wife called and they put us in contact with our photographer (Les Wallack). Until Linkin was born we were in contact with Les and he was always positive about everything. From talking to Les on the phone, I knew Les was a man with a big heart. He received the phone call from my wife at around 4:30AM on October 4th. The man that he is, Les came as soon as he could, having just completed his other 12 hour shift job. When he arrived at the hospital he certainly was a man of compassion. This was the first time we had met. He wanted to know what we wanted and I told him to just do your best. I can not tell you enough…THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!”

“Les went above and beyond anything me or my wife could ever have expected. The whole time in the waiting room, delivery room, our room, into the NICU I hardly noticed that he was there. Les was great and he gave us our time with our Linkin. Linkin lived longer than anyone expected and the photographers for NILMDTS only stay for a short while. Les was more than gracious with his time, it was all about us. Even though he had just worked a 12 hour shift…Les stayed for about 6 and a half hours taking pictures of everything and everyone. Les captured more images than I could ask for. When he left, I thought great - he took well over 200 images. When Linkin passed two days later, someone called Les and told him the news. Les came back to the hospital and created more images of us with Linkin for 3 more hours! The CD’s he made of Linkin along with the website and the Letter From Linkin was far more than anything we ever asked or expected from Les. Honestly, being a religious family we believe that Les was sent to us by God. We could never have asked for a better photographer than him. He put his whole heart into what he was doing. I can honestly say from that day on Les has become not only a part of Linkin’s story but he has become a part of our family. I tried to put into words what kind of man Les is and the work he does but I feel I have not done him justice. THANK YOU LES FOR EVERYTHING AND GOD BLESS!!!!”
