Madelyn Marie Ramirez

Our lives were written long before the world was created. Every breath from the first to the last was a gift to every one of us. We were put on this earth for one simple reason; to love our God first and then to love others. We are unique in the ways we exhibit this, because our Lord loves variety. The moment we figure out our purpose and fulfill it is the moment our Creator plucks us from the earth and takes us home. It takes some people many years to fulfill their purpose and others a lifetime. This moment is a mystery to us. It’s only for God to know. Our angel, Madelyn, fulfilled her purpose in a matter of months and was called home on October 16, 2014. This innocent child provided a powerful feeling of love and affection without ever speaking a word or taking a step. Madelyn was a gift of life and love. She is a testimony and a miracle for thousands of people. She strengthened the faith of so many people through the miracle of her birth. Opposition was against her, but God prevailed and delivered her to us. She is a lesson to us all that God is the beginning and the end. We don’t understand His ways, but we must know that they are always good. Her brief life is an example of how we should live our own lives as we wait to join her in paradise. Make an impact of love and unity for your brothers and sisters and love the Lord with all your heart. She walked away from this world holding Jesus’ hand, skipping into a place of unimaginable beauty, a place where we will see her again with all of our other loved ones. As we accept Jesus as our savior, we secure our place in the Book of Life with our sweet baby Madelyn. We love you babe. Your spirit runs deep in this world but it runs free in Heaven. We thank you for everything you have done. We thank everyone for their prayers and support. We walk stronger than ever in our faith because of Madelyn. Madelyn is the beloved daughter of Daniel and Angela Ramirez of Visalia, CA. She is survived by paternal grandparents David and Tamara Ramirez of Visalia, maternal grandmother Patricia Shirey of Modesto, great grandparents Sally Ramirez and Barbara Brashier of Visalia, Don and Ellen Brashier of Heidelberg, MS, and great-great grandmother, Vivian Brashier, of Heidelberg, MS. Madelyn is also survived by her uncles David and Christopher Ramirez and her aunts April and Antoinette Jimenez, of Visalia, CA as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. A celebration of her life will be held on October 24, 2014 at 10:00am at Visalia First Assembly. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Valley Children’s Hospital.
