Kiarra Peters Obituary

Kiarra Tejah Peters 4/25/03 ~ 8/5/2003  Our perfect little girl (Kiarrious) left her earthly body, but not our hearts and memories, from something they call SIDS. The shear joy she gave us will inspire the rest of our lives. She lived three short months, one week, and three days. She was so beautiful and blessed with the sweetest spirit. We will always cherish the time we had with her on this earth and will be waiting for the day when we get to hold her close. We will deeply miss the dimple in her chin, perfect little lips, all the singing, smiles, and laughter she shared. She is survived by her parents, Katie Natasha, Aaron Anthony Peters; grandparents, Jolie and Greg Pope, (Draper), Robert "Tony" Peters (Lincoln, NE), Cindy and Steve Clinger (Salt Lake City), Jordan and Renita Mitchell (Roy); loving great-grand-parents, uncles, aunts, and friends. We want to thank Dr. Gitte Larsen, Mary Ann Bowman, and the staff of P.I.C.U. at Primary Children's Hospital for their help and support. Services Sat. Aug 9, 2003, 12 noon, Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary, 1950 E. 10600 S. Viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment, Larkin Sunset Gardens. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Kiarra Tejah Peters fund at any Zions Bank.

Nothing can ever take away the pain of losing a child, especially one so young. The best you can do is celebrate her life and the joy she left for you in your hearts.

I am so sorry. I wish I could write something amazing, but there will never be enough words to comfort a parent's broken heart when their perfect angel has to leave early. I know. Our daughter Megan passed away in April. We put her down for a nap here, and her Father in Heaven woke her up there. In fact, Kiarra was only one day older than Megan was. It's hard not even being able to say goodbye when you've hardly had a chance to say hello.



It hurts deeper than any knife could ever cut. And life will never, ever be like it could have been - but that's not because it will be worse. I think Megan's been busy inspiring innocent neighbors so that as soon as I think I won't make it through the day, someone will stop by or call and say something that lets me know Megan still loves us as much as we love her, and she hasn't stopped missing us. Believe me, miracles are happening daily even after four short months.



It's not going to be fast or easy or painless, but the waves of emotion will eventually stop knocking you over as often, and they don't seem quite as intensely acute. You will make it to the top of that over-shadowing mountain of grief to get glimpses of the sun that's been shining all along on the other side. And someday sooner than you might think is possible, the most poignant memories of Kiarra's giggles, her dimples, and most of all, her incredible perfect smiles meant only for her daddy and mommy will bring a little more light and a little less pain.



Just hold each other tight no matter what and cry as often as either one of you needs to. It helps.



With prayers & tears,

Tony Peters

Since I can not be by your sides; and even though it is emotionally tough now, I need you both to keep your heads up and look forward to a brighter future together. It helps me to know that you have a large support base of wonderful family and friends to help comfort you in this time of need. Love always, Dad.

Aaron & Katie, I am are thinking of you two. Giving you all my love and support that I can from this long distance. I wanted to send you this thought;

However beautiful this world is, it was not meant to be

The place that we call our home for all eternity. And though we would not choose to leave, a loving God knows best. And in His time He lifts us to a place of peace and rest. For He has built a Mansion where his children will reside, free from pain and sorrow, forever at his side. And though sometimes we fail Him. He never fails His own. And even when our choices are less than He would ask, He knows when our human courage is unequal to the task. We cannot Judge what happens, though tears and questions may start. We only see what's visible---God sees into the heart. And though there may be many things that we cannot explain. We can be sure it breaks His Heart to see His children in pain. In loving arms He bears us to a quite place apart where he mends our wounded spirit and he heals our broken heart. And though the ones we love so much have left our sight and have passed into a better world of Majesty and light. Someday we will all be together in Our Father's House. We will thank him for his Mercy and praise him for his Love.

May god bless and keep you both, in his loving arms. The days ahead will be the hardest, just remember there is strength in numbers. The two of you can do this together.

With all my Love

Thank you so much for the support, we definately have been through alot this year. We got married two weeks before this happened. Things have beeen going non-stop.

We tried to set up a donation account at Zions and somehow they messed it up. Many people have been telling us that they were told there wasn't any account. Thats not true..the people there just don't know what they are doing. I guess they have Donation as her last name? We are gonna go have a talk with someone today.

But thanx again for all the kind words..
