Isabella Skye Reese

Born August 21, 2018, at Hillcrest Hospital, Isabella "Tinker" Skye Reese, departed this life surrounded by family and in the loving arms of her mother, Tanisha Reese, May 15, 2019, at 2:50 pm.  Although she was only nine months old, Isabella seemed to have a nickname list as long as her entire body! Along with Tinker, these names also included Tinker Bella, Bella Boop, Miracle, and Bella too. Her life was a brief gift to us, but her memory will forever live on in our hearts and minds.  Isabella touched the lives of so many and evoked the love of all. She was truly a blessing to us all; our angel on earth!  Constant prayers filled her days as Bella battled respiratory issues on a near-daily basis. God's favor kept Bella, Tanisha and her big sister, Paige, through the storm. Sentiments of love and words of encouragement poured in from all over the globe. A select few, however, spent many days in Bella's presence providing around the clock caretaking shifts at the hospital and supporting Tanisha in her time of need: Onjonae Adams, Tonesia Holman, Denise Parker, Tamara Smith, and father/grandfather William Anthony Reese.  When Tanisha was at her weariest, sister/aunt LaGina White and cousin Andrea Riley put action to the word "love" providing help for Tanisha in almost every capacity from beginning to end.  Isabella is deeply loved by her mommy, big sister Paige, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and many others. She will always remain her family's precious baby and Paige's little sister, and they will hold her again in heaven one day.  Bella loved holding on to her family's fingers, cuddling with her elephant and, most of all, being held by her loving mother. Bella was the definition of love. She will be missed, but her spirit lives on! Rest up, darling angel. You have achieved ultimate peace in His arms.
