Our Stories
Courtney Lea Abare
We lost our baby girl due to a placenta abruption/uterus rupture in 2008. Her life was taken immediately. We lost Courtney Lea one year after having our son, Bailey. I had no clue that our first child was such a blessing as I never heard of anyone losing their baby days before their due date. I found comfort through family, friends and Heart Strings. We miss her every day! Love, mom, bailey and granny
Ava Joy Admassu
We found out that Ava had Trisomy 13 when I was 19 weeks pregnant. She made it to 26 weeks and was born sleeping on March 29, 2018. The mark she left on our hearts will never be forgotten. We honor her memory today, and every day.
Lyla Jane Allen
Lyla Jane was our first baby, who we lost at 39.6 weeks on July 25, 2016. We miss her every second of every day - but we hold her in our hearts & we are proud to call her a big sister. God is taking good care of our baby girl. Love you Lyla Jane!
Kenneth Lenard Allen, Jr.
Our beautiful baby, Kenneth Lenard Allen, Jr. was born on April 26, 2016. He was only 20 weeks old and lived for 1 1/2 hours. Although we were deeply saddened by our loss, we were so blessed to be able to spend that short time with him We loved on him so much, and took pictures and just enjoyed our time together as a family. We will always cherish that special time together, and are so grateful to Northside Hospital, The Heartstrings Office, and all the doctors and staff that gave us the love and support we needed to move forward.
MaKenzie Mae Anderson & MaKayla Jeanne Anderson
My twin girls were born at 20 weeks due to PPROM. Heartstrings was there every step of the way to lift my spirits and remind me that I am not alone. I got cards on the girls due date telling me that I was remembered on that day. The support I have felt from these people is beyond measure.
Malea Anderson
Malea we will remember you forever. When we found out we lost you, it broke our hearts. You have paved the way for our family in ways you will never know. We love you beyond words. You will never be forgotten.
Justice Magnolia Askew
Dear Justice, my baby sister. The little love of my life. Words can’t explain how mommy and I are feeling like a piece of us is missing. We were so ready for you to come so we could give you all the love we had in us for you and spoil you. I was so ready to be the best big sister I could ever be for you. To help you learn to be a strong and smart little girl. It’s hard for me and mommy now that you’re gone, but I know you’re happy in Heaven and that makes me very happy. I’m thankful that we got to hold you and see you. I could tell you were going to be pretty like your mommy. On Earth, you have a mother and sister that loves you very much. In Heaven, you also have a Father that loves you very much and wants you to be with Him. You will always be in our hearts. Love, your big sister Jordan
Asher William Balsamo
We love you sweet angel.
Olivia Anne Barta
At 32 weeks, me made final touches to our twins’ nursery, but our happy journey took a turn at 34 weeks when we learned our little girl had no heartbeat. Shock, disbelief, and inexplicable grief set in immediately. It was decided by our doctors to carry the twins two more weeks. An eternity. Each day in utero for our son was a good thing but devastating for our daughter. At 36 weeks, on May 17, our beautiful Olivia was delivered with her twin brother, Lucas, a bittersweet day. We were blessed to bring home our son, but it doesn’t shield us from the ferocity of grief we feel for the loss of Olivia. We are ever reminded of Olivia’s beauty and potential, quietly recalling the shared dreams we had for her and our family. We will always love and miss or sweet baby girl, Olivia Anne.
Faith Honesty Bennett
Faith Honesty Bennett was born on August 3, 2014. Just know that not day goes by that we don't think of you. Always on our mind...forever in our hearts. Love, Mom & Dad/ Family & Friends.
David Blake
After much infertility, in late 2010 I was expecting twins (David & Olivia) due in May. My husband and I went on a Christmas ‘babymoon’ to Seattle. The morning we were to fly home, my son abrupted and I was admitted to Seattle’s Swedish hospital. David lasted invitro a courageous 11 days before we lost him. Olivia was born a precarious 1.7lb micro-preemie at 24 weeks. Over Olivia’s 145-day NICU stay, I lived in a hotel, my husband flew back-and-forth, and our insurance lapsed and was luckily reinstated. We finally came home in June of 2011. David taught us to live bravely, so we tried again and were blessed with full-term twin girls two years later at Northside – delivered on Olivia and David’s original due date! We will always count our blessings and remember our courageous son.
Harrison Bryan Brinson
Our second born, our beautiful baby boy, Harrison Bryan Brinson, was born at 20 weeks on January 29, 2017. While his precious and powerful life was brief on this earth, we look forward to the eternal lifetime with our son in heaven and are grateful for the love, courage, and hope we have gained through him and through our Heavenly Father’s provision through it all. We all miss you every day, buddy. To Heaven and Back, we love you so. Love, Mommy, Daddy, Kate, and Hope
Aiden Deon Brown
I went to my 40 week appointment with an expectation to be induced later that afternoon. The baby bag was packed, car seat installed and the brand new stroller tucked in the trunk. We were ready. We were excited. But the routine and last check-up turned completely on its head. Instead of hearing about what time I needed to check into the hospital, I was told that there was no heartbeat. "I'm sorry to tell you that this pregnancy has been a demise." These were the words that I refused to hear. Perhaps she was still wrong, I thought. I prayed hard. I called on others to pray as I tried not to panic, driving myself to the hospital for the final and upgraded check. When the doctor looked at me sadly, when the regular swish of Aiden's movement wasn't heard on the ultrasound, the endlessness of the silence prevailed. I then knew that the assessment must be true. I would not meet my precious Aiden in the way I had expected. The hardest decision was the decision to push. It was the push from a dream to a horrible reality, one that I needed time to come to terms with. After a time I thought "hey, I've waited a long time to meet him and I still want to meet this little fellow that I've been long talking to, praying for and excited to see, so I pushed. That push both saved and changed my life. Within hours of pushing I was rushed into emergency surgery and placed on life support myself. It was the week that changed my life. Aiden lived up to the meaning of his name " little fire "as he lit a fire within me to begin living on purpose, living life to is fullest, forgiving often, loving deeply and enjoying the processes of life. Aiden Deon Brown, the fire of my life.
Cameron Andrew Burke & Burke Babies 1 & 2
I never wanted kids...until I did. Then the Desire of My Heart grew from a small whisper...a suggestion even, into loud drums, bells, and horns...never to be quieted. Not even after several years, 9 tries and losses. Even now with TWO Miracle Rainbow Babies, I still remember. Big Brothers & Sisters, your lil sisters "Izzy" & "Peanut" will always speak of & remember you! <3 <3 <3
Abilene Faith Childers
Abilene Faith was diagnosed with Wolf Hirshhorn Syndrome at 20 weeks gestation. At 36 weeks gestation, on October 14th, 2015, she was born sleeping. She is celebrated by her parents, older sister Amily, and younger sister Adaley.
Alayna Dean Cohen
When I was 35 we decided to get pregnant and we did on our first try. Had a great pregnancy, I continued working out and had no problems. Until our 37-week appointment, I went to our routine weekly appointment and the Doppler they were using was taking longer than usual to find the heartbeat. They kept pointing to something on the screen and I kept saying, “What? Tell what it is?” They said, “We can’t say but you need to go the hospital. We arrived and the technician did the ultrasound and confirmed no heartbeat and then the doctor came in and confirmed again. The past 9 months came rushing at me like hundreds of memories. It felt like an overwhelming feeling of all these shutters. My heart started pounding and I knew I was going to lose control and freak out but then something stopped me. I say it is the practical side of me or the systematic side. Now what, what is the next step. OMG I have to deliver the baby. So, we went back to my doctor’s office and we discussed options. About how to go into labor naturally, that my body would just naturally go into labor. I told the doctor, I did not want to wait, therefore we went to the hospital and they induced. The hospital we were at the nurses and doctors were not trained on how to handle loss. They were supposed to put a bluebird on the doors of the women who had stillbirths. The nurses forgot to do that. Let me just say all the doctors and nurses kept coming in and saying, “Ok so we are going to deliver a girl today and do you feel her and let’s listen for the heartbeat.” Yeah, umm could you twist the knife a little bit more I am not dead yet. (Oh did I want to be.) I was like there is no life for me now. She was it. She was my reason for living and she is not here. I am not who I was planning to be now. I do not want to be who I was. I want to be who I am with her. Epidural, 6 hours of labor, Thank God I fully dilated. Excruciating pain holding off on the epidural trying to dilate as fast as I could. Pushing her out and seeing an angel. She was so beautiful. Her complexion was so amazing. Seeing her was just instantly calming. A true angel. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I was expecting there to be a heartbeat, a last ditch effort but then I saw her skin peeling on her forehead and the front of her head. This means she had died a couple of days prior. I know some women who sleep with their babies overnight. They kept having to take Alayna back to the cooler and bring her out. I couldn’t hold her. It was too traumatic for me. All I could think about was how quickly I was going to get pregnant again. That was all I could hold on to now that we had to discuss the funeral arrangements…
Allymay Zena Cooper & Ava Sue Cooper
Our story is still being written. Everyday holds something different, a new emotion or a memory or a what if. It started when I found out I was pregnant with twin girls. I learned their personalities quickly. Allymay was "here I am" kind of girl and Ava was very laid back and easy going. On September 17th I went into labor and I had Allymay naturally. With Ava I had to have an emergency C-Section. This was totally part of their personalities, the little girls I had come to know and love so much. I got to spend 8 incredible hours with Allymay and five short days with Ava. The day that GOD called them home changed my life forever. I didn't just loose two beautiful red head girls. I lost a lifetime of memories. I lost first words, first steps, first day of school, proms, weddings and so much more. I think about them daily and love when I dream about them. My story is changing every day because every day brings a new challenge. Today they would be four. I know I would be just as proud of them as I was the day I met them. They were strong…they were little but fierce. I know Heaven is a little sweeter because my two angels are there.
Hayden Liam Daniel
Our son was born on June 24, 2014 with a Congenital Heart Defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He lived for almost six months. Most of his life was in the hospital...only about two months total he was home. He had two open heart surgeries, 3 heart caths, G-tube and nissen surgery, and a diaphragm placation surgery. He also had two cardiac arrests. He also suffered some seizure activity after one of his cardiac arrests. After all that though he fought hard until December 19th when his body mostly results of his lungs just couldn't take anymore. He passed in our arms surrounded by family. He will always be loved and remembered. He is our hero.
Gage Michael Daniels
Forever in our hearts. 4/22/98
Sofia Victoria Davidson-Garcia
Our daughter, Sofía Victoria Davidson-Garcia, was born on November 15, 2017, at 7:32 am. She was about 15 inches long and weighed 2.5 pounds. She had thick, black hair like her mothers. She had my nose and my uni-brow. We watched her grow for 30 weeks and 4 days. A week or so after we found out she was coming, we rushed to the Emergency Room. After a quick scan, the doctor could only find an empty amniotic sac. The pregnancy did not take. He was very confident. Sorry. A few weeks later, we were in the Emergency Room of another hospital, in another state, watching the light of Sofía’s heart flicker for the first time. A few more days, another doctor, and we were squinting at something called a Fetal Pole. Weeks and months passed. More appointments. More and more of our daughter. Arms. Legs. Her eyes and mouth. Her vertebrae. Her rib cage. Her heart. Hiccups and somersaults. We felt her first kicks, small flutters that seemed to grow stronger and stronger every day. I beamed with pride when they seemed to be just a little bit stronger at the sound of my voice. We talked and read to her. Her mom played her Mozart while we fell asleep. When Sofía’s mother was just under 31 weeks, I had to fly to Italy for work. At the airport, I kissed her mother’s stomach and asked Sofía to wait for me to come home. Four days later, I was on a plane headed home. After landing, I turned on my cell phone to find a flurry of text messages. Hours later, I was next to Sofía’s mother in Labor & Delivery. I am still making sense of the 48 hours that followed: She may still make it 40 weeks. Maybe 34. She won’t leave this hospital until she delivers. We need to get this baby out now. I still think of the operating room: the sounds, the smells. I can still feel it. All of the joy, hope, and laughter. The sudden rush of chaos and med-speak. The sympathetic voices and finally, the cutting silence. There were moments of indescribable beauty and unfathomable pain-So close together that, even now, I have trouble distinguishing one from another. For 52 minutes I watched my daughter, her little hand balled into a fist, fight for every second she had on this earth. I am so proud of her. Sofía was brought to us wrapped in a blanket, that little newborn cap on her head. This is always how I will remember her. She was alive when they put her in our arms. She passed away, cradled between us, at 8:23AM. In a way I cannot put into words, we loved her. We love her now. We love her always. Many have spoken to us about God’s plans. We have heard more clichés than I can count: One day at a time. This too shall pass. We heard a story that, in Islamic belief, when babies pass away, they are given entry into heaven, but they choose to wait outside so that they can walk in, hand and hand, with their parents. I don’t know. I do not feel like I know much of anything anymore. I do know this: when we saw Sofía come into this world, something changed in us forever. We will never be the same. Our hearts overflow with love. Thank God. Thank Sofia.
Thomas Anthony DeFeo
Our lives were changed forever when Thomas Anthony DeFeo was born on Aug. 1, 2017. He made us parents and brought immeasurable joy when he arrived. Though he was only physically with us for eight days, his presence will be with us forever.
Caden Chance Dempsey & Baby Dempsey
After trying to have a baby for 7 years me and my husband went on a paleo diet as a last resort before having IVF. After 2 months of our paleo diet we become pregnant with our son Caden. At 12 weeks he was diagnosed with having a midline defect called a omphalocele. We was advised to terminate the pregnancy but after finding out that some babies born with live we couldn’t bare the thought of termination. Caden was born full term by C-section. Upon his birth he suffered from other complications as well including small lungs and heart complications. He stayed in the nicu the whole time and passed away at 2 days old. After a year of waiting we tried again to have another child and immediately became pregnant but at 7 weeks I had a miscarriage. Praying we get to have our rainbow one day soon.
Colton Lawson Reece Dobson
In 2014 our first child, Colton Lawson Reece Dobson, was born into the arms of the Lord due to a cord accident. With each passing day, we become more aware of all the little things we are unable to experience with him. This year Colton would have started to pre-school; he would be playing with his baby sister and possibly playing little league ball. Since we are not able to create these memories with him, we will hold on to the short time we had together while teaching his siblings about him and keeping his memory alive.
Sarah LilyAnn Drake
God’s Beloved Sarah LilyAnn “A Life So Brief, A Child So Small, You Had The Power To Touch Us All.” Long arms reaching, long legs kicking and open eyes saying “Goodbye for now.” “What the caterpillar calls the end of life, the master calls the butterfly.” Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord. Psalm 127:3
Mary Grace Faglier
Our sweet Mary Grace was born on July 16, 2013 and she went to be with Jesus in her sleep on January 8, 2014. We were blessed to have her here with us for almost 6 months. Her precious life changed our lives forever. We look forward to the day that our hearts are made whole when we see her sweet face in Heaven and are together again. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you Phil 1:3
Leigh Flowers & Serena Lenora Flowers
In January 2016, we found out I was pregnant with our second baby on the 4th anniversary of our first date. At 7 weeks, we found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. We were devastated to lose our precious Leigh. November 2017, we found out we were expecting our fourth baby, with two living children. At 32 weeks, we went to the hospital after concerns about decreased movement. We watched in agony as they tried in vain to find Serena's heartbeat. Labor and delivery was horrible. We still have no answers for what happened to our sweet Serena. We are the parents of four, exactly the number of kids I wanted, but only two are alive. Juliette and Margot will grow up hearing about the siblings they never got to meet. Leigh and Serena are loved and missed every single day, more than words can say.
James “Brycen” Lee Garrett
On June 11, 2018 my son James Brycen Lee Garrett was born. He was born at 26 weeks and 2 days, due to preeclampsia. I had been in the hospital for four days trying to get my blood pressure down. My blood pressure was 195/113. My OB decided it was too dangerous to keep me pregnant, so she delivered me. At 7:24 a.m. Brycen entered this world, and was breathing on His own. So beautiful. For two days he did wonderful, we couldn't believe what a blessing it was for this child to be here so early and to be doing so well. Later, He developed a bacterial infection (NEC) and fought hard to stay here on earth. He lived 13 days, and taught me more about life in those 13 days, than i could ever imagine. He taught me to love with everything. Every minute of every day. Every minute he was loved.
Michael Allan Giacchino & Joseph Theodore Giacchino
I lost my sweet twin boys at 18 weeks gestation and they will be 3 on Oct 21st. Miss them terribly! Love you boys!
Gabriel Asher Hayes
Gabriel Asher Hayes - our 3rd blessing and forever our guardian angel. Born exactly 5 months prior to his due date straight into his heavenly home. He was the tiniest thing, but brings so much joy and love to our hearts. Gabriel completed our family. It may be complete in a way that we never would have dreamed, but his big brother and big sister talk about him all the time. Mommy and daddy talk about him all the time. He is never forgotten in our hearts! Gabriel, thank you for making us the Hayes family party of 5 that your daddy always dreamed of! You are so loved, and we will forever appreciate that 24 hours we had to hold you in our arms.
Journii Kassidy Hall
I’m LaTiana and I’m Journii’s Mom. It’s been 3 years since the loss of my angel. Loosing Journii broke me, i thought i would never rebuild myself to be happy, loving or even a mother again. Journii was my first so what happened to be hurt even more than I could of imagined. There’s not a single day that i don’t think about her or imagine what she would have looked like. I lost Journii April 23, 2015, I was 1 week from 7 months, I literally prepared for her then she was taken from me with no notice. I trust that God always has a plan for me. October 30, 2017 I was blessed with a baby boy Cameron Zane. One day I hope to share with him that he has a sister who watches over him everyday. To the mothers who have lost a child God understands more than you know and he will comfort you!
Brynn Aria Hannibal
After carrying her for 34 weeks our Brynn Aria Hannibal was born sleeping on October 15th, 2016. Our hearts were broken and we thought that we would never be the same, but after two years we are on the path to healing. She will always be in our hearts and we will always love and miss her. We love you Brynn - Daddy, Mommy, big sister Brianna and little sister Braelee.
Rhys Ellis-Wayne Hatchett
On 12/14/16 at 35 weeks, Rhys Ellis-Wayne Hatchett was born sleeping to Shanice Woods and Ryan Hatchett from what appeared to be a healthy pregnancy. Preparing for our angel’s arrival, I awoke to minor cramping. I checked in with my doctor who suggested drink more water. But cramps became more intense & frequent. I decided to go to my doctor’s office & was told I was in labor. Before EMS arrived, the doctor checked Rhys’ vitals & in the mist of the chaos and pain, I heard the doctor's voice "There's no heartbeat". Before I could grasp his words, pressure and urge to push came. Within minutes our angel was born. There was an empty silence that was filled my screams and the doctor’s infinite apologies. After the autopsy and tests, we have no answers. Our angel is forever with us!
Andre’ Henderson Jr

Alastair Myles Hill
Our son Alastair passed away on June 29th 2014 from sids. Everyday is still a struggle for us and we miss him but we also think about the joy he brought to us. We miss you Ken and Shawnya Mom and Dad
Brynna May Hoffman
6 years after losing Brynna, we tried again and were blessed with Harrison. Watching Harrison talk about his sister in Heaven and sharing his love for her with people around us who don't know about his sister has been the biggest blessing. She will always be loved and remembered and here with us because her little brother helps to keep her present every single day. We love you Brynna May.
Hadley Marie Hubbard
Hadley was a true angel on earth. Born at 24 weeks, she brought so many people together and taught us so much about strength, love, and the meaning of family. She continues to bring that joy through her little brother's smile and we will honor her with all we have, forever in our hearts.
Jonathan Daniel Irvin
Our firstborn son, Jonathon Daniel Irvin, was born straight into the arms of Jesus on April 30, 2010. He is loved, remembered, and honored every day! He watches over all of us from heaven, especially his little brothers, Jeremiah, Jaxon, and Joel. Love and miss you sweet baby boy!!
October Janeise
October was born 18 weeks early due to a bicornuate uterus, and placenta abruption.
Laiyah Skye Jarvis
Laiyah Skye was born sleep on October 6th 2014 at 37 weeks; she passed due to a cord knot. I went to the hospital for decrease movement on a Thursday only for them to tell me it was normal she had no more room that is why her pattern changed so I was released. Sunday morning I went back to the hospital for decrease movement only to hear “I’m so sorry. There’s no heartbeat.” Losing Laiyah has been a journey that I’m still trying to survive.
Ethan D’Wayne Johnson
We think of you every day love Angel (Mommy), Levar (Daddy), MaKari and your twin Aaron.
Phara Lynae Keyes & Prescott Logan Keyes
March 26, 2012 was the day our lives forever changed. That day we heard the words "there's no heartbeat." March 27, 2012 our beautiful first-born child, Phara Lynae, entered this world silently at 36 weeks gestation. Although her life was short, she left an everlasting impression and will forever be a part of our family. January 6, 2016 our world took another turn. I learned I had a Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy and had to make the decision to say farewell to that beautiful heartbeat in order to save my life. Prescott Logan left this world at 8 weeks gestation.
Asher Knox Martindale
At our 15 week ultrasound we were told Asher had a lethal form of skeletal dysplasia and would not live after birth. We leaned on our faith, family and friends and welcomed a beautiful boy on May 26, 2013. Although we only had 23 hours with him before he grew his wings, he left a mark of love and resilience. And his legacy lives on in his little brother Rowan.
Joshua Trent Massaro
Our sweet baby, Joshua was born on March 10th and went to play with Jesus on March 15th. We miss him every day, but we remember him in everything we do. He will be forever loved as we carry him with us in our hearts. We love you and miss you, sweet boy, and can't wait to hold you again in Heaven one day.
Ryland Parker Moore
Our first child, Ryland, was unexpectedly born on 4/2/16 at 24 weeks & weighing 1lb. 4oz. Ry's birthday was supposed to be filled with joy & excitement. Instead it was a nightmare filled with fear, tears & questions. Once I was able to see my baby, I was overwhelmed with just how amazingly perfect he was. All 1 lb 4 oz of him. A day that was filled with much sadness quickly turned into the best day of my life. After 35 excruciating days in the NICU, our sweet boy went to heaven on 5/7/16. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him & how different life would be with him in it, but I thank the Lord for the things he’s taught me through Ryland. As painful as it is right now, it brings comfort to know that I have more life with my boy ahead of me than behind me. We love you Ry Bug!
Zachery Thomas Munn
Born 10 weeks early on June 17th 2014 by emergency c-section, were my two beautiful twin boys. Small and frail they were as they fought for their life. Watching them day after day never knowing what the next day would hold, with many ups as well as downs we finally brought them home end of August. We thought everything was great but never imagined the worst was yet to happen. November 1st, 2014 around 5 am we found our son, Zachery, not breathing and cold. It was a parents worse nightmare, we could not save our baby boy. He was perfectly healthy he just stopped breathing is what they said, so it was ruled SUIDS. I wanted answers, why? Why him? Why so soon? What did I do wrong? He gained his angel wings and we gained a guardian angel. Apart of my heart will forever be in Heaven.
Maya Adelyn Perez
It was the night of June 24, 2017 when I rushed to the hospital with heavy bleeding and labor pains. The nurses couldn't find my daughters heartbeat. There was no movement on the ultrasound. She was gone. It was preeclampsia. There is no words to describe that unimaginable pain. I decided to have her via c-section. She was born June 25, 2017. I'll never forget waking up and seeing her dad holding her rocking in a chair. My entire family was there. I'll always remember the first time I held her. She had long fingers and toes. She was so precious. She now watches over her big sister and her little sister. I'm a mother to a beautiful child with wings. Our angel baby, Maya Adelyn Perez
Brooklyn Rayne Reffitt
We had been praying to be blessed with a child and were so excited to find out that we were expecting twins! We were even more excited to find out that they were going to be identical twin girls! When I was 18 weeks pregnant, we found out they were suffering from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. One twin was getting too much nutrients where the other twin was getting too little. We were quickly flown to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland where fetoscopic laser surgery was performed. We were so scared, but the surgery was successful. In the weeks that followed, I was high risk and was going to 2-3 doctor’s appointments a week. When I was 28 weeks I was at a doctor’s appointment, when they wheeled me straight to the hospital. They said I would be there 4-6 weeks. To our surprise, 12 days later I had an emergency c-section. On August 8, 2016, our beautiful girls Brooklyn Rayne Reffitt, weighing 3 lbs, and Adelynn Grace Reffitt, weighing 2 lbs 11 oz, were born. Brooklyn was put on a high frequency ventilator to help her breathing. She fought to get her breathing better. We then got news that she contracted the infection MRSA, which spread to her blood and was unable to be contained. On August 25th, 2016 she passed away in our arms after a hard fight. She fought to keep one eye open as long as she could. It has been 2 years since we lost our precious girl, but at times it feels like it was just yesterday. Even though we only had 17 days with her, she was and will continue to be our inspiration.
Layla Rose Anguiano Salinas
Layla was expected by very loving parents and family. At 38 weeks, she had no heart beat due to stillbirth. We almost lost mommy at the ICU 3 days later. We miss her terribly but we are sure that she is running around in heaven!

You are loved and missed. Mom, Dad & Brother
Amelia Elisabeth Schmidt
Amelia was born on August 8th, 2016 at 39 weeks. She was our first baby and she made us parents, we were so excited to meet our daughter and were blindsided the day we learned she went to heaven and we had to meet our daughter and say goodbye to her at the same time. We love our daughter so much and treasure the memories and keepsakes we have of her because of HEARTstrings. Our wish will always be that we had more time to be with her and to love her, but we are so grateful for her life and continue to love her every day.

You moved in my belly ALL night before your unfortunate early birth, and proved everyone wrong when you were born alive...living minutes longer than expected when you were deemed to be born deceased.

Sovereign Nichola Watts
My name is Shenell Watts and I founded Sunflowers of Sovereign Inc. in honor of my angel, Sovereign, whom ascended to Heaven when I was 7 months pregnant. She was so much fun to have. Even while in the womb, I just knew she was going to be my dancing queen. Everyone did too. I was always dancing and felt so lifted spiritually as I felt her kicks speed up to the Afro Caribbean music of our culture. She was already deemed as my free spirited, happy, dancing baby and I loved her so much before I even saw her little face. I knew she would be an example to other young girls of how to love and carry yourself, an exhibition of "girl power" hence the reason why I named her "Sovereign". Therefore, I named and started a nonprofit in her name "Sunflowers of Sovereign". I will conclude by saying what I told her and still tell her everyday "Mommy Loves You"
Ariyana Unique Worsham
March 1, 2016 will be a day that I will never forget. What was supposed to be a exciting day filled with laughter and joy turned out to be a very heart breaking day. Hearing the words "I’m sorry there is no heart beat" turned our whole world upside down. I miss my daughter so much and I just wish that I could hold and kiss her again. I would give anything to have her here with us. We love you our beautiful princess in heaven. Continue to watch over us baby girl. Always and forever daddy favorite girl.
Ruth O’Rita Young
I remember going to the doctor on. Jan 29th 2018 saying, She was moving around aggressively, all my 5 months ultrasound looks good. What could ever be the matter. At 6 1\2 months pregnant. Everything was going to turn for the worst in one day. One of the best hospitals in Georgia could biy bit I could understand. They saved one of my friend twins cause she going to loose one; why they could save the baby from fourth pregnancy. U start to think all the things you could of done right and what u did not do right. What the doctors could done differently with the medication I was on. My baby had everything wrong with her the night of Jan 29th around 29th; She had low blood pressure bleeding in the stomach, in the brain, her eyes was about to open. I knew that she was born GOD give her 4 days.
We lost our baby girl due to a placenta abruption/uterus rupture in 2008. Her life was taken immediately. We lost Courtney Lea one year after having our son, Bailey. I had no clue that our first child was such a blessing as I never heard of anyone losing their baby days before their due date. I found comfort through family, friends and Heart Strings. We miss her every day! Love, mom, bailey and granny
Ava Joy Admassu
We found out that Ava had Trisomy 13 when I was 19 weeks pregnant. She made it to 26 weeks and was born sleeping on March 29, 2018. The mark she left on our hearts will never be forgotten. We honor her memory today, and every day.
Lyla Jane Allen
Lyla Jane was our first baby, who we lost at 39.6 weeks on July 25, 2016. We miss her every second of every day - but we hold her in our hearts & we are proud to call her a big sister. God is taking good care of our baby girl. Love you Lyla Jane!
Kenneth Lenard Allen, Jr.
Our beautiful baby, Kenneth Lenard Allen, Jr. was born on April 26, 2016. He was only 20 weeks old and lived for 1 1/2 hours. Although we were deeply saddened by our loss, we were so blessed to be able to spend that short time with him We loved on him so much, and took pictures and just enjoyed our time together as a family. We will always cherish that special time together, and are so grateful to Northside Hospital, The Heartstrings Office, and all the doctors and staff that gave us the love and support we needed to move forward.
MaKenzie Mae Anderson & MaKayla Jeanne Anderson
My twin girls were born at 20 weeks due to PPROM. Heartstrings was there every step of the way to lift my spirits and remind me that I am not alone. I got cards on the girls due date telling me that I was remembered on that day. The support I have felt from these people is beyond measure.
Malea Anderson
Malea we will remember you forever. When we found out we lost you, it broke our hearts. You have paved the way for our family in ways you will never know. We love you beyond words. You will never be forgotten.
Justice Magnolia Askew
Dear Justice, my baby sister. The little love of my life. Words can’t explain how mommy and I are feeling like a piece of us is missing. We were so ready for you to come so we could give you all the love we had in us for you and spoil you. I was so ready to be the best big sister I could ever be for you. To help you learn to be a strong and smart little girl. It’s hard for me and mommy now that you’re gone, but I know you’re happy in Heaven and that makes me very happy. I’m thankful that we got to hold you and see you. I could tell you were going to be pretty like your mommy. On Earth, you have a mother and sister that loves you very much. In Heaven, you also have a Father that loves you very much and wants you to be with Him. You will always be in our hearts. Love, your big sister Jordan
Asher William Balsamo
We love you sweet angel.
Olivia Anne Barta
At 32 weeks, me made final touches to our twins’ nursery, but our happy journey took a turn at 34 weeks when we learned our little girl had no heartbeat. Shock, disbelief, and inexplicable grief set in immediately. It was decided by our doctors to carry the twins two more weeks. An eternity. Each day in utero for our son was a good thing but devastating for our daughter. At 36 weeks, on May 17, our beautiful Olivia was delivered with her twin brother, Lucas, a bittersweet day. We were blessed to bring home our son, but it doesn’t shield us from the ferocity of grief we feel for the loss of Olivia. We are ever reminded of Olivia’s beauty and potential, quietly recalling the shared dreams we had for her and our family. We will always love and miss or sweet baby girl, Olivia Anne.
Faith Honesty Bennett
Faith Honesty Bennett was born on August 3, 2014. Just know that not day goes by that we don't think of you. Always on our mind...forever in our hearts. Love, Mom & Dad/ Family & Friends.
David Blake
After much infertility, in late 2010 I was expecting twins (David & Olivia) due in May. My husband and I went on a Christmas ‘babymoon’ to Seattle. The morning we were to fly home, my son abrupted and I was admitted to Seattle’s Swedish hospital. David lasted invitro a courageous 11 days before we lost him. Olivia was born a precarious 1.7lb micro-preemie at 24 weeks. Over Olivia’s 145-day NICU stay, I lived in a hotel, my husband flew back-and-forth, and our insurance lapsed and was luckily reinstated. We finally came home in June of 2011. David taught us to live bravely, so we tried again and were blessed with full-term twin girls two years later at Northside – delivered on Olivia and David’s original due date! We will always count our blessings and remember our courageous son.
Harrison Bryan Brinson
Our second born, our beautiful baby boy, Harrison Bryan Brinson, was born at 20 weeks on January 29, 2017. While his precious and powerful life was brief on this earth, we look forward to the eternal lifetime with our son in heaven and are grateful for the love, courage, and hope we have gained through him and through our Heavenly Father’s provision through it all. We all miss you every day, buddy. To Heaven and Back, we love you so. Love, Mommy, Daddy, Kate, and Hope
Aiden Deon Brown
I went to my 40 week appointment with an expectation to be induced later that afternoon. The baby bag was packed, car seat installed and the brand new stroller tucked in the trunk. We were ready. We were excited. But the routine and last check-up turned completely on its head. Instead of hearing about what time I needed to check into the hospital, I was told that there was no heartbeat. "I'm sorry to tell you that this pregnancy has been a demise." These were the words that I refused to hear. Perhaps she was still wrong, I thought. I prayed hard. I called on others to pray as I tried not to panic, driving myself to the hospital for the final and upgraded check. When the doctor looked at me sadly, when the regular swish of Aiden's movement wasn't heard on the ultrasound, the endlessness of the silence prevailed. I then knew that the assessment must be true. I would not meet my precious Aiden in the way I had expected. The hardest decision was the decision to push. It was the push from a dream to a horrible reality, one that I needed time to come to terms with. After a time I thought "hey, I've waited a long time to meet him and I still want to meet this little fellow that I've been long talking to, praying for and excited to see, so I pushed. That push both saved and changed my life. Within hours of pushing I was rushed into emergency surgery and placed on life support myself. It was the week that changed my life. Aiden lived up to the meaning of his name " little fire "as he lit a fire within me to begin living on purpose, living life to is fullest, forgiving often, loving deeply and enjoying the processes of life. Aiden Deon Brown, the fire of my life.

I never wanted kids...until I did. Then the Desire of My Heart grew from a small whisper...a suggestion even, into loud drums, bells, and horns...never to be quieted.

Big Brothers & Sisters, your lil sisters "Izzy" & "Peanut" will always speak of & remember you! <3 <3 <3

Alayna Dean Cohen
When I was 35 we decided to get pregnant and we did on our first try. Had a great pregnancy, I continued working out and had no problems. Until our 37-week appointment, I went to our routine weekly appointment and the Doppler they were using was taking longer than usual to find the heartbeat. They kept pointing to something on the screen and I kept saying, “What? Tell what it is?” They said, “We can’t say but you need to go the hospital. We arrived and the technician did the ultrasound and confirmed no heartbeat and then the doctor came in and confirmed again. The past 9 months came rushing at me like hundreds of memories. It felt like an overwhelming feeling of all these shutters. My heart started pounding and I knew I was going to lose control and freak out but then something stopped me. I say it is the practical side of me or the systematic side. Now what, what is the next step. OMG I have to deliver the baby. So, we went back to my doctor’s office and we discussed options. About how to go into labor naturally, that my body would just naturally go into labor. I told the doctor, I did not want to wait, therefore we went to the hospital and they induced. The hospital we were at the nurses and doctors were not trained on how to handle loss. They were supposed to put a bluebird on the doors of the women who had stillbirths. The nurses forgot to do that. Let me just say all the doctors and nurses kept coming in and saying, “Ok so we are going to deliver a girl today and do you feel her and let’s listen for the heartbeat.” Yeah, umm could you twist the knife a little bit more I am not dead yet. (Oh did I want to be.) I was like there is no life for me now. She was it. She was my reason for living and she is not here. I am not who I was planning to be now. I do not want to be who I was. I want to be who I am with her. Epidural, 6 hours of labor, Thank God I fully dilated. Excruciating pain holding off on the epidural trying to dilate as fast as I could. Pushing her out and seeing an angel. She was so beautiful. Her complexion was so amazing. Seeing her was just instantly calming. A true angel. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I was expecting there to be a heartbeat, a last ditch effort but then I saw her skin peeling on her forehead and the front of her head. This means she had died a couple of days prior. I know some women who sleep with their babies overnight. They kept having to take Alayna back to the cooler and bring her out. I couldn’t hold her. It was too traumatic for me. All I could think about was how quickly I was going to get pregnant again. That was all I could hold on to now that we had to discuss the funeral arrangements…
Allymay Zena Cooper & Ava Sue Cooper
Our story is still being written. Everyday holds something different, a new emotion or a memory or a what if. It started when I found out I was pregnant with twin girls. I learned their personalities quickly. Allymay was "here I am" kind of girl and Ava was very laid back and easy going. On September 17th I went into labor and I had Allymay naturally. With Ava I had to have an emergency C-Section. This was totally part of their personalities, the little girls I had come to know and love so much. I got to spend 8 incredible hours with Allymay and five short days with Ava. The day that GOD called them home changed my life forever. I didn't just loose two beautiful red head girls. I lost a lifetime of memories. I lost first words, first steps, first day of school, proms, weddings and so much more. I think about them daily and love when I dream about them. My story is changing every day because every day brings a new challenge. Today they would be four. I know I would be just as proud of them as I was the day I met them. They were strong…they were little but fierce. I know Heaven is a little sweeter because my two angels are there.
Hayden Liam Daniel
Our son was born on June 24, 2014 with a Congenital Heart Defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He lived for almost six months. Most of his life was in the hospital...only about two months total he was home. He had two open heart surgeries, 3 heart caths, G-tube and nissen surgery, and a diaphragm placation surgery. He also had two cardiac arrests. He also suffered some seizure activity after one of his cardiac arrests. After all that though he fought hard until December 19th when his body mostly results of his lungs just couldn't take anymore. He passed in our arms surrounded by family. He will always be loved and remembered. He is our hero.

Sofia Victoria Davidson-Garcia
Our daughter, Sofía Victoria Davidson-Garcia, was born on November 15, 2017, at 7:32 am. She was about 15 inches long and weighed 2.5 pounds. She had thick, black hair like her mothers. She had my nose and my uni-brow. We watched her grow for 30 weeks and 4 days. A week or so after we found out she was coming, we rushed to the Emergency Room. After a quick scan, the doctor could only find an empty amniotic sac. The pregnancy did not take. He was very confident. Sorry. A few weeks later, we were in the Emergency Room of another hospital, in another state, watching the light of Sofía’s heart flicker for the first time. A few more days, another doctor, and we were squinting at something called a Fetal Pole. Weeks and months passed. More appointments. More and more of our daughter. Arms. Legs. Her eyes and mouth. Her vertebrae. Her rib cage. Her heart. Hiccups and somersaults. We felt her first kicks, small flutters that seemed to grow stronger and stronger every day. I beamed with pride when they seemed to be just a little bit stronger at the sound of my voice. We talked and read to her. Her mom played her Mozart while we fell asleep. When Sofía’s mother was just under 31 weeks, I had to fly to Italy for work. At the airport, I kissed her mother’s stomach and asked Sofía to wait for me to come home. Four days later, I was on a plane headed home. After landing, I turned on my cell phone to find a flurry of text messages. Hours later, I was next to Sofía’s mother in Labor & Delivery. I am still making sense of the 48 hours that followed: She may still make it 40 weeks. Maybe 34. She won’t leave this hospital until she delivers. We need to get this baby out now. I still think of the operating room: the sounds, the smells. I can still feel it. All of the joy, hope, and laughter. The sudden rush of chaos and med-speak. The sympathetic voices and finally, the cutting silence. There were moments of indescribable beauty and unfathomable pain-So close together that, even now, I have trouble distinguishing one from another. For 52 minutes I watched my daughter, her little hand balled into a fist, fight for every second she had on this earth. I am so proud of her. Sofía was brought to us wrapped in a blanket, that little newborn cap on her head. This is always how I will remember her. She was alive when they put her in our arms. She passed away, cradled between us, at 8:23AM. In a way I cannot put into words, we loved her. We love her now. We love her always. Many have spoken to us about God’s plans. We have heard more clichés than I can count: One day at a time. This too shall pass. We heard a story that, in Islamic belief, when babies pass away, they are given entry into heaven, but they choose to wait outside so that they can walk in, hand and hand, with their parents. I don’t know. I do not feel like I know much of anything anymore. I do know this: when we saw Sofía come into this world, something changed in us forever. We will never be the same. Our hearts overflow with love. Thank God. Thank Sofia.

Our lives were changed forever when Thomas Anthony DeFeo was born on Aug. 1, 2017. He made us parents and brought immeasurable joy when he arrived. Though he was only physically with us for eight days, his presence will be with us forever.
Caden Chance Dempsey & Baby Dempsey
After trying to have a baby for 7 years me and my husband went on a paleo diet as a last resort before having IVF. After 2 months of our paleo diet we become pregnant with our son Caden. At 12 weeks he was diagnosed with having a midline defect called a omphalocele. We was advised to terminate the pregnancy but after finding out that some babies born with live we couldn’t bare the thought of termination. Caden was born full term by C-section. Upon his birth he suffered from other complications as well including small lungs and heart complications. He stayed in the nicu the whole time and passed away at 2 days old. After a year of waiting we tried again to have another child and immediately became pregnant but at 7 weeks I had a miscarriage. Praying we get to have our rainbow one day soon.
Colton Lawson Reece Dobson
In 2014 our first child, Colton Lawson Reece Dobson, was born into the arms of the Lord due to a cord accident. With each passing day, we become more aware of all the little things we are unable to experience with him. This year Colton would have started to pre-school; he would be playing with his baby sister and possibly playing little league ball. Since we are not able to create these memories with him, we will hold on to the short time we had together while teaching his siblings about him and keeping his memory alive.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you Phil 1:3
Leigh Flowers & Serena Lenora Flowers
In January 2016, we found out I was pregnant with our second baby on the 4th anniversary of our first date. At 7 weeks, we found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. We were devastated to lose our precious Leigh. November 2017, we found out we were expecting our fourth baby, with two living children. At 32 weeks, we went to the hospital after concerns about decreased movement. We watched in agony as they tried in vain to find Serena's heartbeat. Labor and delivery was horrible. We still have no answers for what happened to our sweet Serena. We are the parents of four, exactly the number of kids I wanted, but only two are alive. Juliette and Margot will grow up hearing about the siblings they never got to meet. Leigh and Serena are loved and missed every single day, more than words can say.
James “Brycen” Lee Garrett
On June 11, 2018 my son James Brycen Lee Garrett was born. He was born at 26 weeks and 2 days, due to preeclampsia. I had been in the hospital for four days trying to get my blood pressure down. My blood pressure was 195/113. My OB decided it was too dangerous to keep me pregnant, so she delivered me. At 7:24 a.m. Brycen entered this world, and was breathing on His own. So beautiful. For two days he did wonderful, we couldn't believe what a blessing it was for this child to be here so early and to be doing so well. Later, He developed a bacterial infection (NEC) and fought hard to stay here on earth. He lived 13 days, and taught me more about life in those 13 days, than i could ever imagine. He taught me to love with everything. Every minute of every day. Every minute he was loved.

You are so loved, and we will forever appreciate that 24 hours we had to hold you in our arms.
Journii Kassidy Hall
I’m LaTiana and I’m Journii’s Mom. It’s been 3 years since the loss of my angel. Loosing Journii broke me, i thought i would never rebuild myself to be happy, loving or even a mother again. Journii was my first so what happened to be hurt even more than I could of imagined. There’s not a single day that i don’t think about her or imagine what she would have looked like. I lost Journii April 23, 2015, I was 1 week from 7 months, I literally prepared for her then she was taken from me with no notice. I trust that God always has a plan for me. October 30, 2017 I was blessed with a baby boy Cameron Zane. One day I hope to share with him that he has a sister who watches over him everyday. To the mothers who have lost a child God understands more than you know and he will comfort you!

Rhys Ellis-Wayne Hatchett
On 12/14/16 at 35 weeks, Rhys Ellis-Wayne Hatchett was born sleeping to Shanice Woods and Ryan Hatchett from what appeared to be a healthy pregnancy. Preparing for our angel’s arrival, I awoke to minor cramping. I checked in with my doctor who suggested drink more water. But cramps became more intense & frequent. I decided to go to my doctor’s office & was told I was in labor. Before EMS arrived, the doctor checked Rhys’ vitals & in the mist of the chaos and pain, I heard the doctor's voice "There's no heartbeat". Before I could grasp his words, pressure and urge to push came. Within minutes our angel was born. There was an empty silence that was filled my screams and the doctor’s infinite apologies. After the autopsy and tests, we have no answers. Our angel is forever with us!

6 years after losing Brynna, we tried again and were blessed with Harrison.

Laiyah Skye Jarvis
Laiyah Skye was born sleep on October 6th 2014 at 37 weeks; she passed due to a cord knot. I went to the hospital for decrease movement on a Thursday only for them to tell me it was normal she had no more room that is why her pattern changed so I was released. Sunday morning I went back to the hospital for decrease movement only to hear “I’m so sorry. There’s no heartbeat.” Losing Laiyah has been a journey that I’m still trying to survive.

Phara Lynae Keyes & Prescott Logan Keyes
March 26, 2012 was the day our lives forever changed. That day we heard the words "there's no heartbeat." March 27, 2012 our beautiful first-born child, Phara Lynae, entered this world silently at 36 weeks gestation. Although her life was short, she left an everlasting impression and will forever be a part of our family. January 6, 2016 our world took another turn. I learned I had a Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy and had to make the decision to say farewell to that beautiful heartbeat in order to save my life. Prescott Logan left this world at 8 weeks gestation.
Asher Knox Martindale
At our 15 week ultrasound we were told Asher had a lethal form of skeletal dysplasia and would not live after birth. We leaned on our faith, family and friends and welcomed a beautiful boy on May 26, 2013. Although we only had 23 hours with him before he grew his wings, he left a mark of love and resilience. And his legacy lives on in his little brother Rowan.
Joshua Trent Massaro
Our sweet baby, Joshua was born on March 10th and went to play with Jesus on March 15th. We miss him every day, but we remember him in everything we do.

Ryland Parker Moore
Our first child, Ryland, was unexpectedly born on 4/2/16 at 24 weeks & weighing 1lb. 4oz. Ry's birthday was supposed to be filled with joy & excitement. Instead it was a nightmare filled with fear, tears & questions. Once I was able to see my baby, I was overwhelmed with just how amazingly perfect he was. All 1 lb 4 oz of him. A day that was filled with much sadness quickly turned into the best day of my life. After 35 excruciating days in the NICU, our sweet boy went to heaven on 5/7/16. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him & how different life would be with him in it, but I thank the Lord for the things he’s taught me through Ryland. As painful as it is right now, it brings comfort to know that I have more life with my boy ahead of me than behind me. We love you Ry Bug!
Zachery Thomas Munn
Born 10 weeks early on June 17th 2014 by emergency c-section, were my two beautiful twin boys. Small and frail they were as they fought for their life. Watching them day after day never knowing what the next day would hold, with many ups as well as downs we finally brought them home end of August. We thought everything was great but never imagined the worst was yet to happen. November 1st, 2014 around 5 am we found our son, Zachery, not breathing and cold. It was a parents worse nightmare, we could not save our baby boy. He was perfectly healthy he just stopped breathing is what they said, so it was ruled SUIDS. I wanted answers, why? Why him? Why so soon? What did I do wrong? He gained his angel wings and we gained a guardian angel. Apart of my heart will forever be in Heaven.

It was the night of June 24, 2017 when I rushed to the hospital with heavy bleeding and labor pains. The nurses couldn't find my daughters heartbeat. There was no movement on the ultrasound. She was gone. It was preeclampsia. There is no words to describe that unimaginable pain. I decided to have her via c-section. She was born June 25, 2017. I'll never forget waking up and seeing her dad holding her rocking in a chair. My entire family was there. I'll always remember the first time I held her. She had long fingers and toes. She was so precious. She now watches over her big sister and her little sister. I'm a mother to a beautiful child with wings. Our angel baby, Maya Adelyn Perez
Brooklyn Rayne Reffitt
We had been praying to be blessed with a child and were so excited to find out that we were expecting twins! We were even more excited to find out that they were going to be identical twin girls! When I was 18 weeks pregnant, we found out they were suffering from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. One twin was getting too much nutrients where the other twin was getting too little. We were quickly flown to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland where fetoscopic laser surgery was performed. We were so scared, but the surgery was successful. In the weeks that followed, I was high risk and was going to 2-3 doctor’s appointments a week. When I was 28 weeks I was at a doctor’s appointment, when they wheeled me straight to the hospital. They said I would be there 4-6 weeks. To our surprise, 12 days later I had an emergency c-section. On August 8, 2016, our beautiful girls Brooklyn Rayne Reffitt, weighing 3 lbs, and Adelynn Grace Reffitt, weighing 2 lbs 11 oz, were born. Brooklyn was put on a high frequency ventilator to help her breathing. She fought to get her breathing better. We then got news that she contracted the infection MRSA, which spread to her blood and was unable to be contained. On August 25th, 2016 she passed away in our arms after a hard fight. She fought to keep one eye open as long as she could. It has been 2 years since we lost our precious girl, but at times it feels like it was just yesterday. Even though we only had 17 days with her, she was and will continue to be our inspiration.
Layla Rose Anguiano Salinas
Layla was expected by very loving parents and family. At 38 weeks, she had no heart beat due to stillbirth. We almost lost mommy at the ICU 3 days later. We miss her terribly but we are sure that she is running around in heaven!

You are loved and missed. Mom, Dad & Brother
Amelia Elisabeth Schmidt
Amelia was born on August 8th, 2016 at 39 weeks. She was our first baby and she made us parents, we were so excited to meet our daughter and were blindsided the day we learned she went to heaven and we had to meet our daughter and say goodbye to her at the same time. We love our daughter so much and treasure the memories and keepsakes we have of her because of HEARTstrings. Our wish will always be that we had more time to be with her and to love her, but we are so grateful for her life and continue to love her every day.

Caedin Lavar Smith - meaning, "Spirit of Battle; fighter. Our sweet beloved 1st born baby boy, born and entered into eternal paradise 4/8/18...you were indeed our fighter until God called you home! You moved in my belly ALL night before your unfortunate early birth, and proved everyone wrong when you were born alive...living minutes longer than expected when you were deemed to be born deceased. We know our baby boy had a unique inner potential with his 1st breath, a spiritual essence and purpose! Though his life chapter was short...Daddy, Mommy family and friends will love him ALWAYS!

Sovereign Nichola Watts
My name is Shenell Watts and I founded Sunflowers of Sovereign Inc. in honor of my angel, Sovereign, whom ascended to Heaven when I was 7 months pregnant. She was so much fun to have. Even while in the womb, I just knew she was going to be my dancing queen. Everyone did too. I was always dancing and felt so lifted spiritually as I felt her kicks speed up to the Afro Caribbean music of our culture. She was already deemed as my free spirited, happy, dancing baby and I loved her so much before I even saw her little face. I knew she would be an example to other young girls of how to love and carry yourself, an exhibition of "girl power" hence the reason why I named her "Sovereign". Therefore, I named and started a nonprofit in her name "Sunflowers of Sovereign". I will conclude by saying what I told her and still tell her everyday "Mommy Loves You"
Ariyana Unique Worsham
March 1, 2016 will be a day that I will never forget. What was supposed to be a exciting day filled with laughter and joy turned out to be a very heart breaking day. Hearing the words "I’m sorry there is no heart beat" turned our whole world upside down. I miss my daughter so much and I just wish that I could hold and kiss her again. I would give anything to have her here with us. We love you our beautiful princess in heaven. Continue to watch over us baby girl. Always and forever daddy favorite girl.
Ruth O’Rita Young
I remember going to the doctor on. Jan 29th 2018 saying, She was moving around aggressively, all my 5 months ultrasound looks good. What could ever be the matter. At 6 1\2 months pregnant. Everything was going to turn for the worst in one day. One of the best hospitals in Georgia could biy bit I could understand. They saved one of my friend twins cause she going to loose one; why they could save the baby from fourth pregnancy. U start to think all the things you could of done right and what u did not do right. What the doctors could done differently with the medication I was on. My baby had everything wrong with her the night of Jan 29th around 29th; She had low blood pressure bleeding in the stomach, in the brain, her eyes was about to open. I knew that she was born GOD give her 4 days.
