Today we honor and remember sweet Xavier-Thomas. 💙

Born sleeping on September 18, 2025, at 12:52 AM, Xavier-Thomas was deeply loved long before he entered this world and continues to be loved every day since.

His mommy, Mariah, shared, "Xavier was our saving grace. He was so loved by everyone and is missed so much. He was too perfect to be on this earth—God had another plan for him."

Xavier is lovingly remembered by his parents and his two sisters, Harmony and Sienna, who miss their baby brother dearly.

His family continues to carry both their love for Xavier and the unanswered questions surrounding his loss. Today we speak his name, honor his life, and hold his family close in our hearts.

Sweet Xavier-Thomas, you are loved beyond measure and remembered always. 💙🕊️

Please join us in showing compassion and love to Xavier’s family.

Today we honor and remember sweet Joydalís Mireya Worthy Correia. 💗

After two years of infertility, Joydalís was her mommy’s miracle baby-deeply loved, longed for, and cherished every single day. Her mother, Calvina, shared, “Losing her has forever changed my heart and my life.”

Due to complications from gestational diabetes, precious Joydalís was born sleeping at 31 weeks on December 31st at 2:41 PM.

Though her time here was far too short, she will always be remembered with love. Today we speak her name, honor her memory, and hold her family close in our hearts.

Thank you, Calvina, for trusting us to share your beautiful daughter’s story and helping bring awareness to stillbirth and pregnancy loss. Joydalís will never be forgotten.

💙 Remembering Mateo Sebastían Bonilla 💙

This Mother’s Day, we honor and remember sweet Mateo Sebastían Bonilla, a precious baby boy whose life, though far too short, left an everlasting impact on his mother’s heart.

Mateo was born on 11-09-25 and joined heaven on 12-18-25 due to SIDS. In just 5 weeks and 5 days, his happiness and beautiful smiles could light up an entire room.

His mother shares:
“Although our time together was cut short, the impact he put in my life never goes unnoticed… I will always miss him and continue saying his name each day gets closer to me seeing him when my time comes.”

This Mother’s Day, we speak Mateo’s name with love and remember the joy, light, and love he brought into this world. He will always be cherished and forever missed. 💙

Join us in holding Mateo and his family close in remembrance today.
