Stella as long as we did. The good Lord could have called •
her home Dec. 31, 2017 when t—:—,.. „
our journey began but instead
he blessed us with time. Time :
to spend with Stella, time, to tell ^ ;
her how much we love her, time
for those who loved her to come j^H sK
visit and play with her. Time jj^E
for us to see more beautiful Jlfe |
smiles, look into her beautiful '
eyes with those long eyelashes
(that everyone just loved) and :
hear her sweet voice and. her '
laughter. More time to take'care hH '
of her, as we gave her baths, '
watched Moana and Trolls with '
her, danced around her and took
naps with her. In hindsight, God
was giving us the gift of time:
We had a very special situation
because we knew our time was
limited with Stella so we had
the chance to not take a single
moment for granted. Stella was
a blessing to our lives. We appreciate the love and support -
that has been shared with us throughout this journey," her
parents said.
