A private family burial was held for Aurora Elizabeth Humpal, infant daughter of Jason and Amy Humpal and sister to Ava.

Aurora took her first and last breaths on October 5, 2024 surrounded by the care team at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital. Though her tiny life was short, she was fiercely and perfectly loved by her family from the moment she was announced.

 Aurora was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Edward Humpal; and maternal aunt, Elizabeth Thompson.

 "You Remain My Precious Dream"

I dreamed a little dream, Once upon a time. 

I dreamed we'd be together one day,

sweet little baby of mine. 

Sadly that dream was not meant to be,

and it's very difficult to know, 

that now you won't be coming to me.

You weren't strong enough to thrive and grow. 

But I know that you're in heaven now 

and that's a very good place to be. 

And I know that when I get there, 

I'll recognize you, and you'll know me. 

We'll get to share the love we would

have shared here on this earth. 

And then we'll know without a doubt

what all this waiting was worth.
