Harper Crider Obituary
Harper was born into this world on September 29, 2018 at EIRMC in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Jessica Sutton Crider and Daniel Crider, 15 minutes after her twin sister Hadlie. She weighed 4lbs 3oz.; they were taken directly to the NICU with her twin sister Hadlie where they spent a month growing and learning to eat before coming home. The two of them share a special bond that will never be broken. She lived in Ririe on her great grandpa Jerry's farm where she loved to be with family and especially enjoyed playing with her sisters Oaklee, Journee and her twin sister Hadlie.
Harper is survived by her parents, Jessica and Daniel Crider and sisters, Oaklee, Journee and Hadlie of Ririe, grandparents, Todd and Denise Sutton of Ririe, Joe and Michelle Crider of Firth and Todd and Denise Sutton of Ririe, great-grandparents, Jerry and Bea Schluter of Ririe, Steve and LeAnn Sutton of Lyman, great great- grandma, Gwen Sutton of Archer, uncles Michael Crider of Firth, Derik and Kara Sutton of Rigby, Aunts, Ashley and Quinn Christensen of Rigby and her many cousins, all who loved and adored her.
She was preceded in death by great-grandma Pallie Crider, great-grandma Brenda Sutton and great-grandpa Lawrence Brower.
The family expresses their heart-felt gratitude to the NICU and PICU nurses and doctors at EIRMC as well as all of their loving friends and family for all their love support and prayers.

So saddened by the loss of your beautiful daughter Harper Elizabeth. She will be missed so much. I am a first cousin of Brenda Orr Sutton. My mother is Ellen Marie Orr. We lost a baby, Holly, some years ago and buried her on her first birthday. I wish I could take some of your pain away. You will never get over it but you will work through it and you will begin to do better. We had another cousin lose a child before our daughters passing and she wrote me a letter and a quote that will always stay with me. "Sometimes the pattern the Lord weaves seems rough but it's because we don't see the overall design." We have great comfort in knowing where Harper and Holly are and I'm sure they are busy preparing for all of us. You will experience the blessings pour in. Love to you and your family - Colleen Elliott

I don't know you guys but I'm truly sorry you have to go thru this. This is something no parent should have to go thru. Just know there will be better days coming. God has a plan for everything and in time you will understand why you two were chosen to go thru this.

Harper, Hadlie, and I were all in the hospital at the same time. Todd Sutton spent many days bouncing back and forth between our room. I never got to meet sweet Harper but I know that she was loved and will continue to be loved by many.

No words expressed will ease the pain of losing your sweet baby girl, but know you are in my prayers at this time. She was truly an angel here on earth.
