The look on her face when she figured out how to play her piano by herself was priceless. Her eyes always had so much to say.
Dear Little Scarlett,
You will remain in our hearts FOREVER! We had such fun playing with the spoon and tapping it on "Mickey" while we watched the video together. You always had a smile for everyone. Such a happy baby. Mommy and Daddy took such precious care of you.
We are at peace now knowing that you will be loved and comforted by all our other loved ones in Heaven. We will join you one day and run and play with you there.
Love you forever,
Great Grandma Randa and Great Grandpa Bruce
Vince and Stephanie,
It was a joy to meet you all while we were in the hospital together. It was a blessing that we were all there together, even though it's the last place any of us wanted to be. What a beautiful little angel you had here on earth and now in heaven, free of SMA. You are amazing parents and can't ever question that you did enough because you did it all!
Stella is getting discharged from the hospital tomorrow but unfortunately I won't be able to travel with her to the services as she's still recovering. My heart is so sad I can't be there for you all. We will be there in spirit, sending our love and prayers of comfort to you all. We will have to light a lantern and send it to her on an evening in the near future!
Love, hugs and prayers from Stella's family (SMA Type I)
Sarah, Travis, Treyton, Stella and Sayer

I would like to say that I really can not express how I feel at your loss of this little angel. Nothing I can say will ever make things change for you and your family. But she was a very special little girl and help us all see how great her little life really was by touching so many lives on her short journey. It made us all see that SMA is a very bad disease and I hope we can all help find the answers to not letting this happen anymore in our life times. Please believe that she is now free and will be with you always.
So sorry for your loss.Sweet Scarlett loved seeing your pictures onFacebook,.that great smile of yours. Sharon Monaghan
