Krue Isaiah Hilliard was born on Saturday, April 7, 2024, at 10:23 am, weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 19 3/4 inches long. Sadly, he departed from this world on Monday, July 1, 2024, at 8:22 am, just shy of being 3 months old.

Chassie and Isaiah, we share your grief, mourn with you, and stand by you and your children during this difficult time. Our hearts ache alongside yours, recognizing the depth of your sorrow.

How many mothers will read this and think, "I can't even fathom"? "What if this were me?"

How does one cope with such a profound loss?

The greatest fear for any parent is the thought of losing their child.

When parents lay their babies to rest, a part of them is laid to rest as well – a part that can never be fully recovered.

Chassie and Isaiah will carry the weight of this day for the rest of their lives, filled with heart-wrenching cries.

As a community, if we can do anything, it is to stand by this family for the next 30 days. They had 85 precious days with their baby, and now I ask for 30 days of peace to support this family.

Love cannot be buried.
