Precious little angel Arianna Aurora Herrall left her family and friends to live with our Lord for eternity Sept. 2, 2005.

Since her birth Dec. 6, 2002, Ari brought immense and indescribable joy to her parents Mark and Nicole Herrall, and she charmed all those in her presence. Arianna's first word was "moon." She loved wildflowers in her hair, bright balloons, big trains, and basketball. Ari loved drawing fish and robots, dancing with the "Wiggles" on television, talking to Grandma and Grandpa on the telephone, and the Phoenix Zoo.

She loved to sleep in her little bouncer long after she outgrew it. Ari's Saturdays were incomplete without breakfast and shopping with "Gamma." Arianna's radiating joy and innocence will forever remind each of us whose lives she touched to openly love those around us and preserve and honor Ari's brief life in each of our daily expressions.

Those anxiously waiting to join Arianna are her parents Mark and Nicole Herrall; maternal grandparents Francine and Leon Hinton; grandparents Monica and Tom Wallace; great-grandparents Ed and Aurora Heffernan, and Don and LaVerne Mowers. Also her aunt and uncle Lana and Samson Hoffman; cousin Kordell Hoffman, aunts Mayan McMurry, Theresa Funston, and Darcy Hinton; uncles Michael Herrall and Rich Funston; and great aunts and uncles Ed and Gina Heffernan, Christy and Leonard Lilley, Neal and Kathy Christian, Scott and Kris Shaw, and Travis Wallace.

Your prayers, loving thoughts, and care are much appreciated. Her family would like to acknowledge the First Chinese Baptist Church for providing prayers, spiritual support, and dinners during her family's time of need.

Services were held at Messinger Mortuary, 7601 E. Indian School Rd., Scottsdale, (480) 945-9521, Thursday, Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. In memory of Arianna, contributions may be made in her name at any Wells Fargo Bank branch.
