Description: Serenity had red hair and pale skin color.  Her Eye color is unknown. She was a beautiful baby girl and will be deeply missed and forever loved.
  She died Jaunuary 6, 2001 not a full hour after her birth.  She was burried Monday, January 8, 2001.
  She was born at Lakewood Medical Center in Morgan City, Louisiana.
Serenity Rose may not have been here on earth for a long period of time, but she is more loved than anyone alive 100 years. She only lived 45 minutes, but she made an impression in the lives of everyone we know that will never leave them.
From the moment I found out I was pregnant for her I was the happiest I have ever been in my life. I have known I wanted to be a mothe since I was a small girl. No child alive is more wanted than Serenity was and still is. It hurts more than words can portray to not be able to have her here on earth with her father and I , yet  it is a comfort to know my little girl is now in heaven with the lord, her Aunt Aimee Michele, her cousin Landon Michael ( both of which died at or just after birth), her Great Uncle Rossley Paul (who died at 18 of cancer), and now her Great Uncle John Darrell ( whom died just 4 days after her,also of  cancer)..
One thing I am grateful for is that I was holding her when she passed away so she got to feel loved as she took her place in heaven. Loosing my little girl is the hardest thing I have and ever will have to go through. There is no pain greater than loosing a child, but I know  I wil make it through this and survive because I am lucky enough to have her father there for me, comforting me, and trying his best to make life liveable with what we are going through. I miss holding her in my arms, kissing her soft face, and running the tips of my fingers over her wavy red hair, but she is in my heart, a part of my soul, and will never ( as long as I have a breathe left in my body) will be forgotten. She is my heart and I will love her far beyond this life.
