Loving Emma Grace

GRIEF :    Keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret. a cause or occasion of keen distress or sorrow.     This was my first tattoo in memory of my daughter Emma Grace. I also included my other two babies, Kailey's is pink, Easton's is blue and Emma's is purple with a halo. The phrase "Loving Emma Grace" to always remember her and remind me that she is always with me! This is also their birth order. Kailey, Emma, then Easton was born a few seconds after Emma in the same minute, 8:02 am 2/4/10.   This one I got to bring awareness to the terrible disease that took my daughters life.  This is the ribbon for CHD-Congenital Heart Defect,  She was born with Tetralogy of Fallot and had complications from her first Open Heart Surgery.  I can now explain to people and bring more awareness to this terrible disease because most people do not know what this ribbon stands for.  See w

Emma Grace Turner 2/4/10 - 7/11/11   EMMA GRACE:     She got the name Grace Because she lived in the womb when they said she may not, she survived birth even when they said there may not be a chance, then she came home all by God's grace.  Little did we know that her grace from God was only beginning.  God had some very important work for Emma to do.  She taught her family a love like no other and was tough and fought through and endured so many struggles in this world.  See Emma was born with a very rare genetic disorder that had never been seen before, she had a congenital heart defect requiring open heart surgery and she could not hear or barely see without the help of her glasses.  We knew about her heart before she was born but had no idea until after birth of all the other struggles she would have to endure when she entered this world on February 4th, 2010.  She touched and blessed so many
