Her legacy
Beautiful Dakota  

Dakota was a very energetic baby with lots of love and laughter for all those who knew her.  You couldn't help but to fall in love with her. She was such a sweet baby who was always happy and rarely cried. Her favorite things were her Elmo and Daddies keyboard. She was always exploring and learning so much.
     
Dakota loved her little brother Mason. If he would cry she would crawl over to his swing or jumeroo and push him around in it.  Mason would always stop crying and start giggling no matter what. Sometimes though she thought Mason was  just a speed bump and would just zoom right over him.
   
You couldn't have a bad day with Dakota around. She was always smiling. Just seeing her beautiful face and glowing smile could bring a person out of the worst mood.   
She was so strong and so happy despite all that she had been through, and she would not be deterred.  She overcame so much in her short life and is an inspiration to us all.
Without her I am not whole. I feel as though everything I know has been shattered. Dropped into an abyss that will never be returned until we are once again reunited. Sometimes I feel like the only thing that keeps me going in this life is the fact that she is in the arms of Jesus and she is no longer suffering. Never will she have to feel the pain that this world may bring. She will never have to experience a loss and she no longer hurts.
Dakota touched so many lives and she is  deeply missed. Dakota forever holds a spot in the hearts of those who knew and loved her and she will never be forgotten no matter what.

Dakota's Smile  

Dakota's Smile

Born into this world, a baby in a hurry
Dashed to save this young life she created a flurry.
Her mother's first love, her daddy's little girl
The love affair of their lives, the finest love in the world!
Her heart wrenching beginning her life on the line
However, through it all you see the sparkle in her eyes
She struggled to breathe an angel with wings
She came into the world she was born in the spring
However, through it all Dakota showed strength
She was not ready to let go she was going to finish this race

Dakota Smiles

As Dakota grew strong, she aged and she cooed,
the beginning of her personality began to shine through
She couldn't quite walk but tried anyway
Her fiesty young spirit a fighter all the way
She put up with the needles, the nurses, a champion some say
She smiled through it all even though some brought her pain
Her life brought such joy to the family she knew.
Her parents were amazed and proud of her as she grew
She gave life her best challenge, she enjoyed everyday
Dakota's love of this world in eagerness she played

Dakota Smiles

Her life was so short but her legacy lives on
She touched everyone's life; she showed us how to be strong
We will never forget her hugs or her soft gentle touch
And the way she kept smiling though life was quite tough
A special gift that is given only by giving it away
Dakota gave of it freely and she gave it every day
Her small little being was really quite wise
It is the gift that she gave that now lights up our skies

A Poem from Aunt Jessica and Brianna  

From Our Hearts to Yours
You know we'll always love you,
You know we'll always care.
No matter where you're going,
Were always here to share.
To share the memories we've had with you,
Those many special bonds.
Your life is through ,
We know its true,
But your spirit's never gone.
We love you and we miss you!
We didnt get to say good-night,
If you come to visit soon I'll sing you your lullaby!
We didnt get to say good-bye,
But happily you know,
Atleast the doctors tried!
We know your really young.
But, your life has restarted...
And another one has begun!
