Our Sunshine, our only sunshine
Raylee Mae Tilton was born on December 30, 2020. From the very beginning, she was a fighter. Raylee fought hard for the short life she had lived. From hospital stays, to graduating the NICU, Raylee inspired us all with her will to live. We will carry that strength with us as we learn to navigate this new life with Raylee as our angel.
Raylee Mae is survived by her Father and Mother, Shane and Emily Tilton; her sisters, Kinley and Aubrey Tilton, as well as her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and many Cousins. Raylee will be held tight in the arms of her many angels, until we are able to see her again. Some of those angels include her Great-Grandma Kelley; Sister, Lillian; Uncle Charles; Aunt Amanda; Serenity, Odin, Baby Hall, Baby Burch and Great-Grandparents, Buck and Alice Hanning. We remember our sweet Raylee shinning as bright as the sun, warm and beautiful.
"The sadness, the love,
The fear & delight-
From small beginnings
Come great things.
A precious gift in this uncertain world.
You are small, but you are mighty."
-Small But Mighty by Alyssa Veech
