Atlantic City recognized Infant Mortality Awareness Day Thursday, and a local organization held a special memorial to those who have lost infants.

"A– HEART" and the Reliance Foundation hosted the memorial service to recognize all of the so–called infant angels; babies who died suddenly.

A major aspect of "A HEART's" mission is to help lessen the number of deaths due to sudden infant death syndrome and other causes.

Robbin Bell, the founder of "A HEART" stated, "So our goal is to be able to get all the information that we can to individuals to make sure we don't lose another baby in our city."
