In Loving Memory
of our darling. Daughter of Dale
and Rosemary Gwaltney. Our hearts' desire; the
daughter of our dearest love. Our tiny
dancer, our miniature ballerina
who made our hearts sing for
all the precious months
of her life.
Born still
on April 1st, 1976.

Sleeping, but never forgotten.
We'll be together forever, our precious
baby girl, in Heaven, when God calls us home.

Twenty-four years are just a second's breath. I'll
I'll never forget the feel of your tiny warm
body in my arms, and your bitter death.
The loss of you will haunt me all
my earthly years. You will be
forever our beloved baby.
