Baby Jaden opened her beautiful bright eyes for all to see on October 16, 2012. Sadly, she closed them on January 29, 2013 as she prepared to go on her journey home to meet her Lord and Savior. Her little hands, feet, smile, and heart will forever be missed. And, even though we only got to enjoy her for a short time, we know that she is at peace as her little soul sleeps with the angels.
Jaden is preceded in death by her beloved uncle and our brother Edward Charles Mason, Jr.; her baby cousin, Jatavius Tolentino; and great-grandmother, Rosie Mae Dunn. They all will be waiting for baby Jaden with welcome arms.
She is survived by her parents, Tevin Payne and Jennifer Flores; brother, Xavier Donnell Payne; maternal grandparents, Terry Flores and Billy Thomas; paternal grandparents, Vickie Jones, Lonnie Jones, and Larry Payne; great-grandparents, Martha and Tommy Jones, Nell and Gee Payne, Birdie Jones and Jesse Williams, Sr.; aunts and uncles, Jasmine Flores, Tess Tolentino, Shameka Jones Appel, Michael Payne, Shalonda Hines, Morgan Payne, Brandon Reed, Meagan Payne, Lakysha Jones, and Mary Jane Holson; and great aunts, great uncles, and cousins.
