Vickie and Andy Till from Georgiana , AL

"It seems each of our adult lives revolves around our children. Hundreds of miles away we were caught up in our feelings for Charlee Rose and her family and all that was going on with them. We wanted so much for God to answer our prayers with this little angel growing up to be a healthy, Godly woman living a life for Him. God had a different plan, a plan we don't understand, one that we try not to question. We thank God for the memories of her smiles and joy she brought for the short time she was here. We thank God for her awesome strength and the fight for life she made. Our prayers will stay with her family through these tough days ahead."
