Eden Raine Dowdle Obituary (2008 - 2008)

Eden was born 5 lbs 13 oz and 19 inches long. She passed away a day or two before birth allowing her to return back to the loving arms of her Father in Heaven. She will forever be with us, on our minds and in our hearts, but most importantly sealed to us through Christ our Savior. Eden, your presence on this earth, although brief, has been such a sweet and spiritual time for your mother and father and for those who love you. We each had the special opportunity to hold your body in our arms as your spirit comforted us and looked over us. We will never forget that. You will forever be a part of our family. Your beautiful face looked so much like your dear mother; from the hint of red in your hair to your eyes, cheeks and chin. There is no doubt you would have grown to be beautiful. We look so forward to meeting you again and giving you such a strong embrace. Although your parents decided not to learn of your gender until you were born, your older sister Cadence, who is nearly two, always knew you were her little sister. You two must have had a special bond. She would often point to you and say “baby” in the most delightful tone and tell us a “girl” was there. There is no doubt your Father in Heaven has a special work for you and must have required you immediately. Heaven is so much the better for that. You must have been so perfect to have had that kind of call. We love you so dearly and will think of you often.
