GODING, Lillian Samantha O'Shannessy

GODING Lillian Samantha O'Shannessy 4.4.2007 - 23.2.2010 Magical, beautiful daughter to Kathryn and Michael. Sister to Ethan, Giuliana and Imogen. Our precious baby girl, 7 years have passed and not a day goes by without speaking your name. We keep our promise never to forget, as we continue to live with only the beautiful memories you gave us. So the pain and the loss is no less, the love and laughter you gave us in 2 years and 10 months you lived, keeps us moving forward and not afraid of loving again. We are a family of an angel. What many people do not know, we bring our angel with us everywhere we go. Lilly sees us at our finest and when we have had the worst days, but she puts a blessing in front of us in the simplest way, the perfect sunset or the sunshine in the sky, even raindrops falling down or birds soaring way up high. A precious tulip sprouting at the sight of spring, these are all gracious gifts from Heaven that you never fail to bring. We are blessed and thankful for your presence in all the things we do. I can't help remember every detail, but here are just a few. Your perfect soft baby skin, your cheeky smile, your zest for life, always in a hurry, your hugs and kisses that could melt the most hardened, your little hands that loved to hold Daddy's, walking by your brother's side in all the things you did. It is beyond tragedy how loss can be so swift but we are now a family of an angel and that is your gift. Forever a daughter, sister and angel.
