Today is Carissa's 4th Birthday!
We love her and miss her so much. Carissa was born earlier in the morning on July 8th, after having an emergency C-section. She was such a chunky baby for us, and had beautiful, big brown eyes. Carissa was a good baby, and never cried. She was given the nick name of "baby doll" right from the start. We should have figured that after waiting 5 extra days, and a difficult birth that Carissa wouldn't be ours for very long. I think she wanted a little more time in Heaven.
Carissa was a very smart little girl. She learned lots about our family, like our favorite colors(she always said Hal's was camouflage), and that 3 of us had brown eyes, and 3 had blue eyes. Carissa also learned the 1st & 2nd Articles of Faith.
Carissa will be remembered for her big pretty eyes, cute little smile, and for bringing lots of sunshine to our lives. She is our little princess, and a beautiful ANGEL!
Carissa will live on forever in our lives, and hearts. We love you!

Aww. Sweet baby. I sure did love her. She was finally starting to warm up to me! That little girl sure did get me to like Barney!
She will ALWAYS be remembered. I know how much your whole family loves her and I know how much she loves you all. You'll be together again.
I love you Elisa. Stay strong.

Oh Lisa, how my heart aches for you! I read your post with its darling pictures of Carissa and just cried. I can't even imagine how your heart aches. I bet that "sting" just never goes away. Bless your heart. Hang in there. Many like us pray for you and your family very often. :-)
Happy Birthday to a special young lady.
Please know that we think of you often. Having those you love go to heaven is painful for sure.

Happy Birthday to your sweet baby. She truly looks like an angel. Birthdays are so hard, my heart aches for you. Even though we have the comfort of the Gospel, that hole and pain is still there. I hope and pray that you feel her near you and know she is taking good care of you.
Hang in there Elisa, and trust in the Lord. You are an amazing woman, blessed to have such beautiful children.
