Stella Kay Walvatne

Stella Kay Walvatne, infant daughter of Jonathan and Ahna (Lacey) Walvatne, of Moorhead, formerly of Fergus Falls, was delivered to the arms of Jesus on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2016, at Sanford Hospital, Fargo, ND.

“This Thanksgiving Jonny and I are beyond thankful for the gift of eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. November 23rd was our sweet Stella Kay's due date and the day that we dreamed of bringing her home, but the Lord had a different plan of the place she would call home. Our baby girl is being held tight in the arms of her Heavenly Father. Although we are at a loss for words and don't fully understand why, we cling to the promise that God's plan for her is far greater than we can fathom. We are extremely thankful for the 40 precious weeks that we were able to spend with her before she was called home. Stella Kay, you taught your dad and I how to love in a way that we never knew was possible. We love you baby girl and can't wait to see you again.”
