Heather, I still cannot imagine the incredible heartache you must be going through. I think of you often and hope you find peace one day. Your baby was beautiful.
Keira Jean Wilkins was stillborn February 28, 2013 at 12:52pm weighing 5 pounds, 9 ounces. Keira's fetal death was ruled a "cord accident" as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice, body twice, and her right leg once.
She is deeply loved and missed by all of her family and, especially, her parents Erik & Heather Wilkins.
We love you to the moon and back beautiful baby girl!
An Angel Never Dies
Don't let them say I wasn't born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold
It doesn't mean I'm gone
This world was worthy, not of me
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I'll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was meant to be,
God doesn't make mistakes
But that won't soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you'll bear
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn't mean I never was,
An Angel never dies.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to have died. Thinking about you and your parents and knowing you are keeping watch over them. Rest in peace, sweet baby.

I came across the beautiful photograph of your precious baby girl, Keira. I do not know the family, but I felt compelled to offer my condolences. I can’t imagine the heartbreak and sorrow all family and friends have experienced. Please remember to pray for strength to endure. There is a scripture that I find comfort in, in times of distress. It is found at John 5:28, 29. It says, “Do not ma

My Baby Girl
April 22, 2013
My dearest baby Keira,
It's been (almost) another month and you would be 8 weeks old on Earth on Thursday. Instead, you are dancing, running, and playing in heaven. Mommy and Daddy hope so very much that you are happy up there and that you have gotten to hear stories about us, from Jesus. We love you so, so, so very much and miss you so, so, so very much! Knowing that you are in Heaven and happy is mildly comforting to us as it is hard to understand why you couldn't stay on Earth with us and be our baby, as we thought it was always intended. It continues to be hard to be without you. We are reminded everyday of you and reminded everyday that we are without you. It just doesn't seem fair.
Love you to the MOON and BACK,
Mommy and Daddy
1 Month
March 28, 2013
It's been a month since we held you in our arms and sent you home to Heaven. Words can't ever express how much we miss you and love you.
We are going to send a balloon to you at 12:52pm...the time you were born to haven last month. We hope you like it and it contains hugs and kisses for you from Mommy and Daddy.
We love you to the moon and back, baby girl, and miss you even more!

Due Date
March 19, 2013
My Dearest Keira,
Your due date has come and gone. It was not an easy day for Mommy and Daddy, but we made the best of it by spending time with Uncle Jason, Auntie Nancy, and your cousins Alexis and Carter. Seeing the kids play makes me happy, but sad at the same time. I wish you could be there, too, playing with them and having fun like cousins should. There shouldn't be this look of wonder in Alexis' eyes...and I just know she wants to ask where her baby girl cousin is. She wants to know where Auntie's tummy went and why that baby isn't here. I know someday I will be able to tell her about you and she will understand. But, right now, she just doesn't. She's too young to understand. And then I think about us....we don't even understand it ourselves, how are we EVER going to explain this to a child....to our child that we will eventually have and be able to parent the way that we were supposed to parent you?! How can we explain something NOONE understands? That may always be a huge question.
The one thing you will NEVER EVER have to question is our love for you. You are so very loved, baby girl. We love you so very much. From the tips of our toes to the tips of our nose, you are loved. We NEVER EVER go a minute without the thought of your beautiful face! In heaven we shall be together.
Loves and snuggles,
Mommy
