Baby Baine Marshall Stunkard

Baby Baine Marshall Stunkard left his earthly home on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. When the angels came to meet him, he was in the arms of his mommy and daddy. Baby Baine was born 15 weeks premature on Dec. 26, 2013, the infant son of Clayton Stunkard and Brooklon Kelley of Pennsboro, W.Va.

We held his perfect little body and kissed his beautiful face. We smiled as his eyes looked back at us and his tiny fingers grasped ours. His sweetness filled our hearts to the brim and it will remain there forever. His battle was courageous and he fought like a true warrior. Our love for him is endless and we will remember him with love and pride everyday for the rest of our lives. God gave us the greatest gift of all when he blessed us with our precious little boy. We love you sweet baby Baine.
