Emma Rose Kelly

Our sweet little butterfly, Emma Rose Kelly, born on January 9, 2015, passed away quietly in her sleep on Thursday, April 23, 2015. We had too little time with such a beautiful baby girl. Emma Rose, everyone you met has been touched by your soul. You were just learning to smile and, my, it was absolutely contagious. The way your tiny fingers curled around ours is one of the most precious moments we will have to cherish, along with all the silly faces you made. Seeing you grow was such a blessing. We know that youre enjoying your new set of wings in heaven and pray that you always know how much we love you. Precious baby girl, you will always be in our hearts.
