LittleBit, we're gonna miss you dearly. And you will forever be in our hearts. We will think about you everyday of our lives. Until we meet again you'll always be our forever angel. Love you always. 💔 Mom & Dad
“Little Bit” you came into our lives at just 3 months old. And from that moment you became our daughter. You were an absolute joy to watch grow up. As the years passed the challenges began. You were at a young age when we discovered something was wrong. Doctors discovered you had a muscle disorder. What it was, how fast would it develop, or even if there was a cure we had no answers. It took us years to find a name behind it. As we journeyed through this, you never once let it define you. You were always smiling and enjoying the life you lived. Then after 14 years of testing and digging for answers, we had a name of your disease. It was “Collagen VI Myopathy” muscular dystrophy. Then we were hit again in 2017 when you developed “scoliosis”. Was your smile and laughter gone; “no ma’am”, you’re the one that got me and your dad through this journey. We even had hopes of you someday walking again. But deep down in that beautiful mind of yours, you knew that wasn’t gonna happen. But you let us go on believing that. I think at the time you didn’t want us to know the truth. Little Bit I hope you know how much joy and happiness you brought into our lives. You could even stop an argument dead in its tracks. You had a love for children . You loved hearing me talk about Elizabeth and how much she was growing and all her sports activities. And you even got the joy of seeing, listening and watching Mackenzie and Reed grow. You were also a very special dog mom to 3 doggies (you called them your babies). Sofia, Maggie, and Arlo are gonna miss you dearly. And me personally want to “Thank you” for all the long conversations we would have together. Especially the ups and downs of life itself. I will continue to hear your voice daily. Baby girl you knew this day would come. But you also knew that your dad and I weren’t ready to accept it. But you were determined to ease our pain. One day you will have accomplished that, but for now that pain and disbelief that you are really gone is there. I kinda felt you were preparing us for something, but not in a million years did I know it would have been this. You are in God’s hands now, so you go “Rest High on that Mountain”, run free and wild, that wheelchair and pain is gone. Down here your dad and I will cherish all the years and memories we have of you. Always remember that you were loved and adored by just not us but all your family and friends. We love you “Little Bit”, always and forever. Mom & Dad 💔
