Saint Lily Frances

Heaven gained a very precious saint yesterday.

Our sweet and perfect Lily Frances was born sleeping yesterday. She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and inherited her brother's squishy cheeks.

Love and joy...that's all I felt when I saw her. Tremendous love and joy. We didn't see anencephaly, we saw our beautiful daughter and she stole our hearts forever. 

I will share more as I can, but for right now I just want the world to know, she is perfection.

I will never be the same, she has changed me forever and for that I am beyond grateful. 

My sweet and perfect Lily Frances, please pray for your mommy, daddy and big brother Ted. 

We love you and miss you so much.

  2. Dear Kellie,
    I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Your daughter was and is a beautiful child of God fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139). I pray that Jesus will wrap his loving arms around you all and give you comfort now and in the days ahead. God bless you. Kate
