Ava Rene Knippelmier

AVA RENE’ KNIPPELMIER Born 12-25-2004, went home to be with Jesus on 02-10-2005. God let us borrow her for a few short weeks, but He gave us a baby so beautiful, He wanted her to come back home. Ava was her mommy’s “Love Bug” or “Baby” and daddy’s “Popeye” or “Cutie Pie”. She was Grandma and Papa Schuch’s “Little Bit,” and BB & GG’s “Baby Doll”. To the rest of her family and everyone that met her – she was simply “the most beautiful baby in the world”. So full of expression and sweetness, Ava loved holding her precious hands on her face and her perfect feet crossed at her ankles. Left on this earth with lovely memories, are mommy and daddy – Tracy and David Knippelmier; grandparents Linda and Duane Schuch and Betty and Gary Knippelmier; Aunt Whitnie Schuch; Uncle Brian, Aunt Jennifer, cousins Eric and Matthew Schuch; Uncle Brad, Aunt Georgeanne, cousins Isabel, Alyssa and Olivia; Aunt Janet Knippelmier; Uncle Chris Ebert; great grandpa Oscar Knippelmier and great grandparents Chester and Tiny Foster and Netti Schuch. We first thank God for allowing us to assist him in a miracle, and receive our most wonderful blessing. We also give thanks to our family and friends for their untiring love and support; Leander School District, Multimedia Games, and Westside Church of Christ; then to the staff of Children’s Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care and Purple Unit for their love and care; and then to the Ronald McDonald House for allowing us to be so close to our precious baby. Thanks to Anne in the Special Care Center, Ellen Anderson, Dr. Kenneth Fox and his P.A. Molly, Dr. Karen Wright, and her fellow partners, and Drs. Elizabeth Burnell, Christopher Seeker, and his partners and staff. AVA, WE WILL MISS YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY, BUT ARE SO COMFORTED THAT YOU ARE NOW SLEEPING PEACEFULLY IN PERFECT ARMS.
