Quinn's family made a beautiful memorial for Lila that had two gorgeous trees covered in our little lady's pictures.
My family decorated the tables with pictures of Lila. I am so grateful I took so many pictures of my girl. My sister and Dad spent a ton of hours compiling and putting pictures together for her funeral video. We had about 1300 just for the video! Lila was loved.
This is our pediatricians nurse. We had lots and lots of phone calls between us. We are so grateful that they loved Lila the way that they did. She had such wonderful care.
The Jackson family put a bracelet that they made for Lila on her wrist before we closed the casket.

Sweet Gracie really was Lila's best friend. I cannot wait to watch that reunion.

Sisters whose bond will not be broken by death
It astounds me that one can survive so much grief, how can a heart keep pumping when it is shattered?

This is the worst moment of my life. Quinn was literally holding me up. The last glimpse of my baby's face until I meet her again on the other side,
How lucky am I to have an amazing partner. Who loves me even in the depths of despair.
We released balloons in Lila's honor and hoped that she saw them from heaven.

Rest well my girl and think of your family. Dream of the moment we will be in each others arms once again because I know that I will every moment of everyday.
I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart, I am never without it.
anywhere I go you go my dear and whatever is done by only me
is your doing, my darling
I fear no fate, for you are my fate, my sweet,
I want no world, for beautiful you are my world, my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher
than soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder thats's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart
