Baby Rikyah Reshawn Sangster-Parham

Baby RiKyah Reshawn Sangster-Parham passed away Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at Covenant Healthcare-Cooper. She was born June 3, 2014 in Saginaw, Michigan to Nastarsha Mashawn Sangster-Bryant and Ricky Rene Parham. Our Heavenly Father called RiKyah home before she had a chance to experience the world or express her interest and characteristics.
Precious Little OneI`m just a precious little one who didn`t make it there. I went straight to be with Jesus, but I`m waiting for you here. Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in. Struggled through a world of sorrow, a world marred with pain and sin. Thank you for the life you gave me, it was brief but don`t complain. I have all Heaven`s Glory, suffered none of earth`s great pain. Thank you for the name you gave me. I`d have loved to bring it fame. But if I`d lingered in earth`s shadows, I would have suffered just the same. So sweet family-don`t you sorrow. Wipe those tears and chase the gloom. I went straight to Jesus` arms from my loving Mother`s womb.
