followed up with a perfectly timed pouty lip when necessary, the tender touch of her little hands against your skin, and the essence of innocence she displayed so naturally will always hold a special place in our lives. Sadly, there are only the memories that remain which will allow us to feel her in our days now, and the mere thought of that is almost more than we can bear. Thankfully though, we are able to find peace in the fact that we trust the Lord has a plan in everything, and we also know that Aurora went straight from our arms to the loving perfection of her Heavenly Home. We will miss you everyday we're apart Aurora and thank-you for the beautiful love you shared while you were here. Those left to cherish Aurora's memory includeher parents,
Melina Vander Meulen and Curtis Gilbert, Dubuque, IA;her brother,
Payton Healey, Dubuque, IA;her maternal grandparents,
