BLAKE<br />

IN LOVING MEMORY<br />

Age 13 months | Acute Myeloid Leukemia<br />

Little Warrior Blake was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid<br />

leukemia) at six months old. For seven months Blake and her<br />

family lived in the hospital as she endured intense chemotherapy<br />

rounds, radiation and a bone marrow transplant. Their family of<br />

three finally moved home after receiving the devastating news<br />

that Blake had relapsed. They spent the summer treasuring their<br />

beloved daughter and showering her with all the love in their<br />

breaking hearts. On August 15, 2016 Blake went to heaven.<br />

Blakes parents share, “We are so proud of our warrior girl and<br />

feel blessed to be her parents. Throughout her challenges and<br />

triumphs, she always smiled and spent each day discovering<br />

and learning. Blake gave her love freely and found joy in simple<br />

moments. She amazed us with her courage and resilience, and<br />

taught us a profound love that can only be felt between a parent<br />

and child. We will hold her dearly in our hearts until the sweet<br />

day we see her again.”
