Lily Ann

Gemma and Lily Ann
Our Little Princesses

My heart is full, even while it is hurting.  Our family has experienced many mercies from a loving Father in Heaven in the days following the passing of our darling niece, Lily Ann.  I feel an urgency and desire to record some of the little miracles, while acknowledging that many surrounding this event are very sacred and private.  Over the course of the past few days, our family and Lily's family have felt the outpouring of love, compassion, and comfort of many who are on the errand of angels.  This morning, while watching the morning session of General Conference, we as a family once again knew that our Father in Heaven is watching over us as we listened to the beautiful Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing "Consider the Lilies," the song that Soni will sing tomorrow for Lily.  It didn't escape our notice, either, that the women of the choir were dressed in pink...the color that all of us are going to wear in honor of Lily at her funeral service.
