An Angel Among Us

Good Morning Family and Friends,

As you know God graced us with the birth of our little angel almost 3 months ago. We couldn't have received a more perfect gift. Abigail Jane lit up our lives brighter than we ever knew was possible. She has touched numerous lives all over the world in such a short time. Her smile warmed our hearts and her sweet song still sings loudly in our ears. Her gifts were abundant and will remain with us eternally. Abigail is now gracing us from above as the angel she was born to be. Jay and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for every prayer, blessing, and kind word you all gave us and Abigail. Thank you for understanding that this message, though digital, is sent with all our love and gratitude.

Love,
Lauren Lea and Jay

Details regarding the memorial services to come.

We are infinitely blessed.
