My mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
~Naomi Ann~

I was 14 years old when she was born. We never got to bring her home. The doctors said she was born with Potter's Syndrome. She lived 1-2 hours..I believe. She was beautiful! She had dark hair..and she looked like a china doll. I have 2 photos of her..one of her in her little casket..and one that my Aunt Cherry sent me recently..they had just unhooked her from all the wires, etc. She was still warm..she just looks like she is sleeping.
I know she is being taken care of..because she has something that I no longer have..my grandma Pulley and great-grandma Butler. They love to spoil their grand-babies..trust me I know:)

I love you baby sister..xoxo

Wow, Jill.... I never knew you had a baby sister.... Maybe she met up with my brother up there in heaven.... I'm sure they could be great friends.....

Now..... You had a Great Grandma Bulter.... How strange??? Is That???..... Rusty is a Butler too..... His mom was born a Butler so I guess that makes him a Butler.... They were from Florida... Carrabelle/East Point to be exact.... Wouldn't that be funny if you were related to them.....

Till next time...... Me

PS.... I added rehearsal pictures to my smugmug..... The kids dad is the guy dressed in yellow like a banana....... I'm sure you can't miss him.....

I to have a younger sister that passed away before she could live her life. My sister Wendy was three months old when she passed. Now she is with my parents and grandparents where I'm sure they are having a good time waiting for the rest of us. How thoughtful that you remembered her on her birthday. Have a great day!

What a wonderful tribute to your baby sister Naomi Ann.

Although she spent just a brief time here on earth ... she has certainly lived on in your heart.
