Aaliyah was our most active baby and loved to respond back to show she was there.  Aaliyah was going to complete our family and be the baby girl. We were so happy to have you in our lives. The day Aaliyah came into the world, she looked like her siblings, especially her big sister Gracelyn. For a split second, Aaliyah looked right at Daddy and let him know everything would be okay. She warmed Mommy's heart and gave us the time we needed with her. We feel blessed for the time we had with you. Thank you so much; you will always be in our hearts. Mommy, Daddy, Laylah, Bubba, Sissy, and Gracie love you. It is not goodbye; we will see you in heaven.

"I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you; but instead, I am deeply honored knowing that you spent the rest of your life with me." -Love Mommy
