Chaunta & Lavelle thanks for sharing these most precious moments. May the Lord continue to comfort you both & give you peace. Love & prayers always. Selene
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Isaiah Simmons, born on February 19, 2015 and passed away on March 17, 2015. Isaiah faught a good fight. Within 27 days he completed his assignment. We will remember him forever.
We would like to thank everyone that showed us love and support during the pregnancy and our stay at the NICU. All the words of encouragement, visitations, texts, phone calls and most of all, prayers are greatly appreciated. We hope that you enjoy these photos as we introduce to you Mr. Isaiah Simmons. Our greatest regret is that he will never get to meet all of you but our lives have surely been impacted by his pressence.
Special thanks to Palmetto Health Richland NICU health care workers and the professional photographer who was called in to help us document this precious moment. Your beautiful eye for details helped to capture a moment that will never be forgotten.
Special thanks to J. P. Holley Funeral Home who took care of the final arrangements for Isaiah. Your final presentation put my heart at ease.
Special thanks to Minister David Patten (my brother) who gave final words at the hospital. I'm sure the NICU will be forever changed. Hopefully all that go through those walls feel the presence of God that we evoked as we called on the one and true comforter.
Feel free to leave a tribute below or if you have a story to share of meeting Isaiah while he was in the NICU on the "stories" tab. Every memory or thought will be cherished for years to come.
Peace, Love, and Blessings to all who visit.

Today, I light a candle. Everyday, I light a candle if only for a few seconds to remember your touch, to remember your flutters, your kicks, your induced heartburn :0) and simply the way you touched my heart. You are forever my firstborn which holds a special place in your mother's heart. Mr. Isaiah Simmons, I love you forever. Nightly, I am comforted by looking at your pictures and knowing that you were a part of me. Although, you didn't stay long, it didn't take long for you to change my life forever. I know that you are forever and ever with me, looking over me, and helping to guide me. All is well....

Happy COVID-19 - 6TH Birthday in Heaven
February 19, 2021
Happy 6th Birthday to our sweet boy, Isaiah. Miss you dearly. I pause every 11 min in honor of you being born at 5:11 pm 6 years ago. I finally bought something to nurture and watch grow. I think I still need a tree . Send your blessings back to earth and help these green thumbs. Spoke with someone who lost twins, and she said the hardest part is when others forget. You will never be forgotten! I will never forget! Love Always and Forever, Mom and Dad!
5 Years Ago
February 19, 2020
February 19, 2015 5:11pm.....It was this very hour, and this very minute 5 years ago that you entered our lives. Today, as we do every year, your father and I lit a candle in remembrance of you. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS! Yes, that’s what we proclaimed then and that’s what we will proclaim forever. We are coping but this time always break us down. Not many words, actually no words spoken. Yet, it is the embrace that allows us to freely release the tears for you. It’s in our embrace that we are able to feel like three again. Though fragmented we are united in spirit.
As the candle flicker, images of your tiny body run through my mind.. I smile through the tears because I’m forever grateful for the moment. It was some moments longer than others had. We had 26-27 days! Even as I write this I can reflect on something I read just the other day. It said imagine Jesus holding your child’s hand. I vividly see this 5 year old boy clinging to the hand of Jesus and I know that He has you. Even better He has your father and I too! That’s the peace that passeth all understanding.
My goal for this year is to complete your scrap book.
Always a part of my heart!
Forever

Happy 2nd- Birthday - 2017 Reflections
February 19, 2017
Two years ago, I fought to hold you inside of me just one more day, but you said oh no! It was indeed a scary day, but yet a lovely day as my first born made his way into this world. It was a bitter sweet moment, as I recall, because as I reflect, I never even heard your cry. They whisked you away to the NICU and I didn't even see a glimpse of you. I remember asking later and I was told of your low apgar score. You could have never taken your first breath, but you fought to at lease give us the opportunity that you did and fulfill your purpose/assignment.
The doctors fought to stop the bleeding, remove the fibroids that were housed with you, and ultimately closed me up. As I went back to my room, though I was there, my thoughts and prayers were with you. I remember how I couldn't go see you but I sent my family to check on you. The videos and pictures brought back made me just want to be there with you all the more! Then the moment that I finally saw you. Your tiny 1 lb 5.9 oz body in that big incubator. None of that mattered because you were here!
I can still remember the moments your dad and I would go to see you and you would be kicking, arching your back, and swatting at the tubes. The first time the nurses turned you on your belly, mmmh. It still brings a smile to my face. I saw your fight as you made it through your first surgery. As I reflect on your fight, I continue to fight today. That we may continue to grow in love. We are better because of you, even if it was short term.
I can celebrate this day, because it at least gave me the opportunity to meet you, to see you. I remember the moment I finally got the opportunity to reach my hand through the window of the incubator. You embraced my thumb and burnt your finger prints in my heart. Even today, as I write this, I pause to feel your embrace both on my thumb and on my heart. I hate I never got to hold you near my heart until your last moments, but nevertheless. I glory and rejoice that I was lucky enough to have you in my life, even if it was for only 27 days. That was at least 27 days that I did have. Many didn't even have that soo I continue to say "all is well" and continue to glorify the God that knows all things and knows what we are able to bear.
I "light this candle" today to celebrate this day that you came into our lives. I "lay a flower" in remembrance of the life that you lived February 19, 2015 - March 17, 2015. Though the flowers may die your spirit forever remains with us.
Happy Birthday, Isaiah Simmons!
Love Always Mom and Dad ~
