I’m Rachael, Emilee’s mother. My daughter Emilee Ann was born on June 8th, this year, 2025. My pregnancy was considered high risk, which made it a very stressful experience at times. But I already loved her so much, from the very beginning my family and I were all so excited, waiting on her arrival! So after all of the extra appointments, tests, etc. my beautiful Emilee Ann came into this world at 3:11am and weighing only 4lbs and 4ozs. She was sooo small and gorgeous! She was also my first born child and I was thrilled to start this new chapter of life as a mother. But yesterday morning on July 26th I woke up to any new mother’s worst nightmare, and before I could even gather my own thoughts I’m in the emergency room hearing a nurse shout out a time of death. I was in shock at first and everything happened so quickly, I still am really. I feel like my hearts been ripped out of my chest, I can’t even begin to explain the pain I’m feeling. But unfortunately, you don’t get much time to process or grieve before you’re overwhelmed with questions about the next steps that are to follow. So with my Emilee only being born a month and a half ago I was buying and preparing for her life, not this. Oh and today, July 27th is my 23rd birthday, and all I want is to get my baby laid to rest. My family suggested I make a page for donations to help cover costs of services. I would really love to have a celebration of life at a place where everyone could come say their goodbyes, have food, let off balloons for her, and have a pastor come out and say a few words. So with that being said anything helps and is greatly appreciated, everything donated will be used to cover costs of her resting arrangements, a place to have the celebration of life, photos, balloons, food, etc. All details such as time and place of the celebration of life are still being worked out. Keep my family and I in your prayers, thank you!
