Rev Run, a.k.a. Joseph Simmons, shocked fans last year when he announced that his wife Justine was pregnant on his MTV reality show “Run’s House.”
Justine’s pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth.
Simmons, a member of the legendary rap group Run DMC, was at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey Tuesday for the birth of his child. Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate — the baby girl was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later. Full story from

Justine & Run- I am one of your biggest fans and I just want to send you a quick note to say how sorry I am for the loss of your babygirl. I’ve been waiting to send this email because I wanted to respect your family during this difficult time in your lives. May God continue to bless you and keep you strong. Rest in Peace Little Lady.

I’m so sorry for your lost I’m deeply sadden for you and your family. I suffered the same lost 2 years ago when my only daughter passed away, I could not understand why but as time heals our pain we come to an agreement with God & accepted his decision and try to move on, although extremely difficult and very tough he knows what he is doing. It took my 2 years to realize that don’t be to hard on yourself, YOU did nothing wrong. You have a loving & supportive family that will continue to be strong and help you in your time of sorrow. My own experience has made me stronger and more spiritual. And although I hesitated and was very affraid, I am expecting another child in August 2007 (It’s A Boy), so we are extremely glad and everything is well so far. God Bless you keep the faith and if adoption is an option, many blessings to you.
Sincerely
Jessica

I was very sad to hear the news about your baby not surviving. We can’t know what causes these things, but we have to believe that God’s plan is perfect. I am a Feng Shui consultant and would be happy to offer your family some suggestions that might balance the ” Chi” in your home. I know you have you Zen room and I was a little bothered by the water feature.
I’m sure all of you guys will find strength in your faith and in one another to get through this painful time, and know that your little one is doing just fine.

Mrs. Simmons I have never done this before, but I am so sorry for your loss. I can honestly say I have very good idea of what you may be feeling I have lost two childrean one as early as 12-11-06 and as late as 12-24-01 please take care of YOURSELF
April 16th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
The Simmons family you have my deepest deepest sympathy. My husband and I just lost a set of twins a girl and a boy Jan 27, and Jan 29, 2007. I followed your show Run’s House from the beginning. I watched and saw how bad Justine wanted a daughter. I wanted my babies and when I lost my daughter first I felt like someone came and just took my soul. I have 2 boys and I couldn’t wait to see them so I can hold them. Justine you have a strong and wonderful family. I actually, just watched the episode of your lost and I cried and cried because, I’m still mourning the lost of my lttle angels. I light three candles every night and say a prayer one for Lavina Marie Tucker one for James Ronald Tucker and one for Victoria Anne Simmons and her family. Your family is a strong role model and you will always be in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU

June 4th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
I was deeply sadded by the loss of your baby girl and am only praying for the best for you. If you guys ever read this message just know that i have had an experiance like this about a year and a half ago when my mother was pregnant with a girl but nobody knew for the entire nine months, and when the doctors finally told her she was pregnant, the baby was deformed and died that same day. I am hoping that god will help me get through my saddness and help you get through your saddness aswell. Nobody knows why this happens, maybe God had a greater purpose for them. I saw the show on Run’s House and what Rev. Run said helped me understand why this happend. Well just now that nomatter what ANY BODY ELSE SAYS, i really, truly am your family’s no. 1 fan and i will be praying for you. God will bless you some way. I love you all especially jojo.
BECAUSE OF HIM,
A MRS JOJO SIMMONS HOPEFUL

Simmons Family,
When the tragedy of the death of Valerie took place I had no knowledge of this site, I was unable to extend my sympathy to your family. Now a year later I come across this website allowing us to post our thoughts.I just wanted to say I am truly sorry about the lost of your precious angel. I have three children and couldn’t imagine such a lost. But in all that was said and all that has happened,your family have truly carried yourselves in the light of god. Encouraging others to put our lives in the hands of the lord. To trust him and to call upon him when things are going bad and when things are going good. Miley is a beautiful baby girl, she is lucky to have such a wonderful family. A note to you: when Vicotria passed, another baby was in the working, she had already been chosen for you, and you had already been chosen for her. God bless you and your family, I can’t wait for the next show to air. I love you all to pieces.
February 6th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
i’m so sorry that you lost your baby but, i prayed for you and i’m glad you had anther baby but i’m still sad for you but i like your rings collection so do your thing to take care of your baby and tell your sister she looks just like and tell your sister the baby is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.
love, Jakayla
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:20 am

Now you have Miley{by the way bueatiful name} annd you can now share all your love with Jojo Angela Vannessa Daniel {Diggy[who is hot]} Russy Justine Miley and always have love for victoria. Justine is so strong for what she has done in the passt i kno im only 13 but love comes from everyone ot everyone. Always and forever

God will never give us more than we can bare. (This is the only time I have ever vented about this on the internet/ blog)~ I LOVE YOUR SHOW.. The only reality show that has something to give an individual and a family, in my opinion. My son was diagnosed with gastroschesis (intestines outside of his abdominal wall). Who knows why these things happen to us? Although I have my son and he is finally home after a long and trying 8 months. To leave him in the hospital every night tore me to pieces.. the fact that he isn’t like most kids saddens me.. the look on his face when he watches us eat but he can’t (almost anything by mouth will cause pernicious vomiting and possibly a trip back to children’s hospital). Although I did not experience the sleepless nights that most mothers did, i lost sleep at the thought that he is alone on the unit, away from a mother’s love. I am so grateful that he is home now, even though I get scared every night when it’s time for him to get hooked up to his IV (handling a central line as a mother is more cumbersome than I thought ;/), I know this is the road we have to go down to get to where the Lord wants us to go. I’m sure Victoria will forever be in your heart and NOTHING will ever replace her loss, but I am so happy that you are home with a healthy baby living the way a child should live. Not hospital bound hooked up to tubes and IVs to survive. May God continue to bless you and your family.
