Marion Isabella Sumner
Marion was born 02/16/2009 at 33 weeks. She weighed 4 lbs 6 oz, and was over 18 inches long. She had a blueberry muffin rash from head to toe, and was diagnosed with LCH - Langerhans' cell histiocytosis
03/19/2009 - Marion passed away quietly in her parents arms. She had developed an infection, which with her weak immune system she was unable to fight off. We are devastated and broken. She was very well loved by many during her short time here.
