On February 2, 2019 our family was blessed with the birth of our sweet baby girl Amiya Grace to her mommy, Shiloh. Shiloh was so proud to be her mommy. Amiya brought our family so much joy and happiness with her sweet little cry, cute little cheeks, big brown eyes and a head full of beautiful black hair. We were so happy and proud to share all of the pictures of our beautiful baby girl. We were looking forward to seeing her grow and seeing what kind of a young lady she would become.

God had another plan for our sweet girl, and she sadly became our Angel on February 18th, 2019 and flew into open arms of her family that has passed on before her and joined them to watch over all of us. Amiya was only here for a short time but left a huge feeling of love in our hearts when she arrived and took a piece of our hearts when she left. Until we meet again:

Fly high, sweet Amiya “Papaya.” We love you and miss you. You will forever be in our hearts.

An Angel wrote in the book of life
my baby’s day of birth,
then whispered as she closed the book,
“too beautiful for Earth.”
