It is with broken hearts that we ask for your support at this difficult time. Matt and Staci Pierce, wonderful parents of five beautiful children, lost their percious baby girl, Ella. Friday morning, she suddenly and senselessly left this world to join God in the kingdom of heaven. A number of costs will be coming toward the family and as a way to help them through this tough time, we are asking for your prayers of strength and any monetary donations you are able to contribute.

From Ella's mom:
"I lost the greatest love of my life... My sweet baby ELLA. She came to us as a surprise because God decided to bless me with the most beautiful gift a mother could ever receive... Another miracle for our family, a 5th child that would complete us. I was scheduled for another c-section but she decided to come a couple weeks early. I went in to labor in the middle of the night and Ella Carleigh Pierce was born jan4th early in the morning and with her beautiful big eyes wide open and locked on mine. This connection we had lasted her entire time here on earth!
I never spent more than a moment away from her no one other than myself ever put her to bed, fed her, changed her or woke her. She was my world and I was hers. I loved her, kissed her hugged her and held her all day and night and I'm so grateful that she was the kind of baby that only wanted her mom... I'm so lucky to have had all those precious moments with her.
I held her almost every second of the day because thats what made her happy. Her smiles would literally make my days and make me feel a happiness I had never felt before. I have no idea to how describe the despair and hollowness that this has left me in. Every breath is a struggle and can not believe this is not just all a nightmare. ELLA was the center of our family and always will be! she made her brothers so proud! they fawned over her every chance they could and her big sister could not stop kissing her and was looking forward to talking and playing with her. ELLA would lay in bed at night with me and listen to her daddy play the guitar and sing... This would bring a calmness to ELLA she loved it! Her face would turn and she would follow her daddies voice every time he walked in. She was our Love! She could make everything better after a long hard day. I will never be complete without her in my arms.
I could never imagine a loss like this and i just want her back with me to smell her, love her kiss and tell her how much I love her! She will forever be my heart and I truly believe our souls were always meant to be together. I will hold on to this with every breath I take and for every single second of my life until I can be with her again."
