Raegan is your definition of a true fighter. She excelled to a point in life far beyond what most doctors expected. Ambitious to live, she went through and beat many of the medical obstacles she was faced with. There was no way you could complain about your life after seeing and hearing about what she went through on a regular basis. She ultimately is my hero and i will never forget such a strong and beautiful Princess. May you S.I.P. and continue to be your mommy's angel. We all love you and miss you

Princess Raegan, you touched the lives of many. You meant so much to me. The many times I would come and hang out with you and the family... You always knew when I was there. You'd raise your hand up and wait for me to come sit next to you. I remember coming to drs appts with you, spending time with you and giving you a spa day. You were a fighter...a strong willed and beautiful little girl. I'll miss you always but I'll remember all our happy times. Fly high and shine bright beautiful angel. Xxoo
