She chose to move on...

Every once in a while there comes into your life an angel that reminds you that every moment is precious. For us, this angel was Oleyen Hannah Vollette-Kist.

Oleyen passed from this life at 1:30 pm today, in her mother's arms, being adored by her father. She was going to surgery today when she suffered a massive hemmorage in her chest, making surgery impossible. Neely and Chris chose to spend her last moments with her, rocking her, and holding her with no tubes, no wires and no drugs. She exited this life the same way she came in, naturally.

Thank you all for your prayers, your thoughts, your hopes and your help. Oleyen came into this world and made an impact, reminding us all not to take life for granted and to cherish every moment. She did what she was sent to do, and when she was done, she chose to move on...

For every moment we had with her, we were blessed. Thank you Oleyen. Your family will miss you and always love you.
