Meet Elizabeth Marie

“Elizabeth Marie was diagnosed prenatally with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) the day before Thanksgiving in 2006. She was born April 2, 2007 and had her 1st stage of heart surgery on April 4, 2007. She had her 2nd stage of heart surgery on October 3, 2007. After spending eight and half long months in the hospital, Elizabeth came home for the first time on December 21, 2007. Elizabeth was the most pleasant, loving, and beautiful little girl. She had a valiant fight with a heart condition and she rarely cried and always had a smile for everyone she saw. Unfortunately, Elizabeth’s hemi-fontan failed and she passed on March 20, 2009, a few weeks before her second birthday. She was and will always be deeply loved by her friends and family, and her memory will be cherished forever.”
