We believe in Jesus! We are walking with Him through this process. We know it will come in waves. Despite Iris' heart not being the healthiest and her brain being severely underdeveloped, Iris came into this world so very loved. She even tried to take breaths on her own, smiled, cried, and moved her little hands and feet. She shared two full days with us, and we saw so much of her personality, which will stay with us forever. Iris created crafts with her sisters and cousins and enjoyed her little sister singing her lullaby songs to calm her cries. Zoey heard Iris coo her name. Grandparents experienced her love with lots of cuddles! Titi Tessa held Iris and did not want to share little cuddles with anyone else! Titi Tessa was the first person to see Iris smile also! Daddy and Mommy experienced changing Iris and Even feeding Iris through the NG tube! Iris life will be unforgettable and we know Jesus called her home on time!

We will have a Celebration of Life at Pentecostal Mission Church of God, 272 Hanover Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011 on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 1:00 pm.
