March 15, 2016 – October 29, 2016
Our beautiful baby girl Aspen came into the world and into our hearts in Canmore, Alberta on March 15, 2016. Aspen brought such joy into our lives, always amazing us with her peaceful way. She was an ‘old soul’ – a perfect baby – so calm and happy all of the time. Aspen loved music, spending hours with her mommy singing and going to the local jams. Aspen loved being in nature; her name suited her perfectly.
While we were devastated to learn of Aspen’s illness with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), we are grateful we had the precious time together, creating many memories that will stay with us forever.
Aspen will be deeply missed and treasured by her mommy Janice Taylor; her daddy Josh Billingsley; her brother Tanner Billingsley; her grandparents, Susan Ruff, Rodney Taylor, and Barb Billingsley; her aunties Katie and Angel; her uncle Corey; her Nana Sandi; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends. Aspen touched people all over the world!
The family would like to extend their deepest thanks to Alberta Children’s Hospital and the Rotary Flames House for their amazing care and support, also to Pastor Ray and his wife Chris for their love and guidance, and to the entire musical community in Cochrane who have embraced our Aspen with open arms.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church (128 1 St E, Cochrane, AB) on Friday, November 04, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Our local friend musicians are invited to bring their instruments to play some songs during the reception, in honour of Aspen.
Memorial donations can be made in Aspen’s name to Families of SMA Canada (http://curesma.ca). Flowers are welcome and appreciated.
