Lila June Kelley

Lila underwent many heart procedures to place shunts and stents in her heart. Lila was then placed on ECMO, a form of life support in hopes she could rest and recover. She was later diagnosed with Airway Malacia and Bronchus Suis, for which no medical interventions were available. Our hearts broke when Lila became our forever angel on November 5th, 2023.  Through her journey, Lila taught us about resilience, love, and the strength of the human spirit. We celebrate her life and the profound impact she had on our family and everyone she touched. Lila will forever remain in our hearts as a true heart warrior. Lila continues to support families during life’s most challenging times by providing gift cards and essential wish list items to families staying at The Ronald McDonald House Charities & C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. www.lilasfund.org

Hope:  to cherish a desire with anticipation: to want something to happen or be true
Hope motivates us to keep going, even when things seem impossible or overwhelming. When we have hope, we believe that better days are ahead and that we can make positive changes in our lives and in the world around us.
