We are so sorry to hear about baby Rose’s passing, and our hearts are broken to see such a darling little baby girl taken from her family at such a young age. Sharon had the honor of taking care of Rose and Miranda when Rose was born, and the photo posted by Grandma Lily is beautiful. Our hearts and best wishes go out to you and your family at this time of loss.

Sweet Baby Rose, I will never forget when I felt you wanted to have just Rose and Grandma Lily time. We snuggled and hugged while I kissed your tiny cheek. When you smiled, I noticed your little dipples. We had conversations and I could swear at one point you were watching t.v. You will always be in my heart! 💞 I look forward to seeing you again. I love you past the stars and back. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 & 18 Grandma Lily

I was blessed to be in Nebraska for the birth of this little angel. My heart was full of so much love the minute I held her. I was thankful for the time I was able to spend with her while I was here and our little shopping date that we had. Memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Great Aunt Robyn loves you forever and always sweetheart!
