Rielyn Grace my beautiful little niece I miss you more than words can say. I was so happy and excited to become your aunt, you stole my heart the moment I seen you. I remember how nervous I was the 1st time I held you cause you were so tiny I thought I'd break you lol now I would give anything to hold u again or to feed you a bottle than u fall asleep on my shoulder. Playing with your rattle with that big smile on your face or looking in those big happy blue eyes there is so many things I miss. Not a day will pass I wont think of you. I love you I love morning noon and night, I love u I love u you made my world so bright.

Hey pretty girl. I cannot describe how much you are missed right now. You are the biggest piece of my heart, and I feel empty, something is missing. But you will never be far, or forgotten because you will always be forever in my heart, and constantly on my mind. Your smile always warmed me, your laugh comforted me, your pretty eyes melted me. I miss you baby girl, I miss you so much my angel. I love you pretty girl, forever and always, always and forever. Your my true Angel now.

Link and Lisa, my heart is with you guys during this journey. The Pastor was right ... despite the pain Baby Rielyn was in, she always had a smile because of your love. The fact that she was able to smile so much is a testament to the love you both gave her. Let that smile and the love you have for her carry through this next chapter. Many thoughts, prayers, and love to your whole family.

My beautiful baby niece, I loved you more than you could ever know. You were a ray of sunshine that came and constantly lit up our days and even our nights. I can't believe you are gone but ill always remember our staring contests, our photoshoots, your smiles, and all the silly and dirty looks you gave. Heaven gained a beautiful angel and we lost a beautiful soul on earth but you will surround us everyday still. Every ray of sunshine, every flower that blooms, every rainbow, rain on a sunny day because my baby girl you are the definition of beautiful and perfect. I love you forever and always <3

Dear Rielyn,

I only met you once, but that was all I needed to see that you were a beautiful little girl. Your life was too short, but it was spent with a family that loved you to the moon and back. But you're in good hands in heaven with Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Cindy and Randal. Rest in Peace sweet little angel.

What a sweet little one, that He put into your lives, if even for such a short time. We can't question what He does - but we can count on his love, and promise of being together again. God bless.

Wilma Klein

There are no words to touch the hurt you feel Lisa.....I can only relate from my own experience. My baby was also 8 months old when she was called home. I hurt for you honey and your husband but only wish I could take the pain away. With time the hurt lessens but will always be part of your life. She touched you as only a baby can and the love she leaves behind will always be with you.
With Love, Wilma Klein, WRMC

I always looked forward to coming in and seeing Rielyn. She had a smile that lit up a room! I always made sure I'd get a few of those grins before rolling the cough assist machine to her bedside. What a smart little cookie!! You both are incredible parents! She had so much love and support around her. She was so blessed to be so loved and well cared for. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of your family during this difficult time.

She is such a beautiful baby and I'm happy to say I saw her smile at one of her weakest times. I think that showed how strong she was and how hard she fought to be with her mommy and daddy. She is watching over lisa and link and is at peace.
