Jersey Anderson Obituary

Anderson, Jersey
was born November 25, 2008 with dark monkey hair and a perfect nose. She earned her angel wings on January 5, 2009. She was diagnosed with a congenital heart disorder and respiratory issues. She was a miracle and a blessing, as all babies are, and left prints on many people's hearts. Jersey was such a fighter...a precious girl....a brave girl. She was an angel among us, sent to teach us about life. She is free from her broken body and now twirls on her perfect tootsies. We love her and will miss her dearly. Her daddy and mommy are Chris and Heidi Anderson and her big sister and big brother are Tatum and Tucker. In lieu of flowers the Anderson Family requests donations. Funeral services will be held in Mesa, AZ on Friday, January 9, 2009 at 10 am at the Mesa Central Stake Center, 925 N. Harris Dr. Internment will follow at the Mesa Cemetery. Arrangements by Bunker's Garden Chapel, 480-964-8686.

Jersey truly is an Angel as she touched so many hearts. Now, in God's embrace, she will forever be a brilliant little star in your family's soul.

Chris & Heidi-

It was a blessing and an honor to be part of such a special prayer & fast for sweet baby Jersey...Its apparent that she is a sweet, elect, choice, beautiful daughter of God...so angelic and pure...
She will always be present in your hearts...she is now one of His Angels watching over you.
What a blessing in our lives to know that families are Eternal..
I can only imagine the pain and heartache that follows letting a child go, but find comfort in knowing that it was the arms of our Heavenly Father that this child now bears.
May you be blessed and find comfort in the strength of the Lord at this difficult time.
The chorus from a song I wrote a few years ago...is as follows, "There is a place, I never been before, it seems so far away. But I promised my dear Lord, I'd return with him someday.. From here until Eternity, I'll strive to find my way. His arms reached out, He says my child; I'll See you there someday."
Your family is Eternal...and someday you will be called home, to be with Jersey forever! Though its hard to imagine, the experience will be great and wonderful. Hope, love and endurance will help you get through these next coming days, weeks, and months.
Lots of love & Hugs-
The Lundgrens

Oh Anderson family! I feel so lucky to have known Jersey through you and her big sister Tatum. I feel Jersey close in our classroom looking over Tatum and watching her as she laughs and plays. Thank you for sharing Tatum with me this year. I have learned so much from her and your family.

To the family of beautiful, little Jersey. You don't know me but I also have a little angel in heaven. Elizabeth Joy lived for 3 months in the hospital, and blessed us beyond belief! It's been 4 years now and our love for her is even greater! Maybe we can share their stories and lives together? The pain is huge, I know, but keeping Jersey's memory alive will bring you so much healing. I send God's peace to you. Hugs to you all.

I can't imagine how you feel...but love you both...and the blondies,too, so much! My thoughts are with you now, and as you continue through this painful tribulation. I will always be here for you guys...may you find comfort and peace soon. Fear not, as baby Jersey is now an angel watching over, and protecting your precious family. Lots of love now and always- Cousin Tammy
