This past weekend we received the tragic news of the drowning of our friend’s 10 month baby girl, Cheyenne. It’s the sort of news that weighs heavy on ones heart. I can’t express my sadness for my friend, and his family. I hope they will find some peace at this time, but I know things will just never be the same . . . Here is a copy of her obituary.
On June 20, 2007 Cheyenne Danille Anderson returned from the loving arms of her family to those of her Heavenly Father. She was born August 27, 2006 in Cedar City, Utah to EksAyn Anderson and Mallory (Anderson) Beckstead. During her short life Cheyenne brought joy and happiness to all who knew her. Cheyenne loved being outside, mommy’s necklaces and anything she could put in her mouth, especially food (and rocks). She loved the time she spent with her sisters Kailey and Cloe. She’ll be remembered for her beautiful brown eyes, infectious smile and burrowing hugs.
She is survived by her parents EksAyn Anderson, and Mallory Beckstead (fiancé Shane Clark) of Cedar City. Her grandparents, Grandma “Tressa” Beckstead of Cedar City, David Beckstead (Beverly) of Hurricane, and EksAyn (Patty) Anderson of Taylorsville. Her sisters Kailey and Cloe. Great Grandma Howdy (Yula Hunting), Great Grandpa EksAyn Anderson, and honorary Grandparents Doug and Tammy Carter. And many other loving family members. Cheyenne is our miracle for she has enriched our lives in life and death. (Cheyenne was an organ donor.)
