BACA, Riley Olivia

The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ May 15, 2008 Riley Olivia Baca, born May 12, 2008, at Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center, returned home to her Heavenly Father May 12, 2008. She is survived by her parents, Elizabeth Schwendemann and Johnnie Baca II; maternal grandparents Chuck and Debbi Hoag and Mark Schwendemann; and paternal grandparents LaDawn Hancock and Johnnie Baca I. Graveside services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 16, at the Reed Hatch Memorial Cemetery in Taylor. Like a soft, downy feather Drifting gently on the wind Landing only for an instant Then floating heavenward once again... So Riley came into our lives For but a brief moment in time Touching our hearts forever With her sweet spirit so sublime. No need to face the challenges That the rest of us must endure Her purpose was to gain a body Her spirit already perfect and pure. Back to heaven she has drifted Waiting patiently for our journeys to end Our tears will turn to ones of joy When we are reunited once again. Owens Mortuary of Show Low handled the arrangements.
