LEWIS, Patrick Jordan

Died peacefully in his parent's arms on April 18, 2009. He was just four days old. Patrick was a dream for his parents, Sheila and Kris. He was so wanted; so wished for. From the moment they knew he was living inside Mommy, Patrick began to fill holes that had existed for years. He was born from a healthy and carefully protected pregnancy. Unfortunately, his birth was premature, at 25 weeks gestation. Although his life was short, it was filled with love. It is said that there is no foot too small to leave an imprint on this world. Patrick has proven this. Mommy and Daddy will always be thankful for the quiet hours spent holding him. Memories of his tiny feet, and the grip of his tiny hands are forever etched in their hearts. Patrick has his wings, and in the company of his brother, he awaits his reunion with his parents. Surviving besides his parents are his grandmothers, Nancy Frayle, and June Lewis; great-grandmother, Laura; great-grandfather, Ilane; uncles, Donnie Frayle and Kevin (Pam) Lewis and cousins, Tyler and Ryan. He was predeceased by his brother, Jordan Kristopher; grandfather, Arthur Frayle and grandfather, Wendell Lewis. A memorial will be held at the family's home in Stillwater Lake from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday April 26. Donations may be made to IWK Health Centre Foundation - specifically to the NICU.
