Mila Rie Crees

Our sweet Mila Rie Crees was born on January 8th, 2023. She was a perfect 3lbs 5oz and 17 inches long.
She was born with a rare condition and because of this she had a challenging road ahead. She fought hard through many procedures and showed us her amazing strength and grace.
On January 10th she went peacefully to heaven in our arms. She is now our guardian angel and will be with us everyday.
