Laissa

Nelson

On the morning of August 1 ^st , 2011, God has blessed our family with a miracle baby, born weighing only a pound, but with the tenacity to fight whatever the world would throw at her. Laissa was born full of joy, that same joy she carried every day for 11 years. As a baby she loved to play soccer often throwing the ball with her hands instead of her feet, she brought joy to everyone that met her.

I always asked God to gift me a girl as my first child, little did I know that the girl would have been my only child and the love of my life.  After God, Laissa was my all;  she meant the world to me, and she brought me strength every day.

Although she was always the quietest in the room, she was also the smartest and the strongest.  She was wise way beyond her years; she taught me how to never give up even amid unbearable pain and diagnosis that were not always good.

Laissa had a special love for animals, she wanted all types of pets, she loved to write and draw, she was a great student, she dreamed of becoming a professional volleyball player, dreamed of buying the biggest house for us, and always wanted to have a house full of siblings, she wanted to achieve all because she told me that she did not want me to lack anything.

My world had turned upside down the day you left it, everywhere I was there you were, you were part of everything I do and the reason for it all.  I do not know how to continue this life without constantly looking at you next to me, expecting you to walk into the room, expecting you to give me your advice on everything. As much as my world is not the same without you the same goes for your dad and the other members of our family.

The world would have been a much better place to live in if you had stayed in it longer, but God gave us eleven blissful years with you, I am grateful for each and every day of those years. God called you home where you can continue to watch over all of us, you are and always will be the perfect angel that God had created you to be but now you earned your wings, those beautiful wings that will help you fly next to each of us as you continue to watch over us all.

Laissa is survived by her mother Maica Ismael, her father Gaby Nelson, her brother Gabriel Nelson, her Grandmother Marie Gerda Desire, her aunts, and uncles: Nathalie Louis, Phedna Louis, Nerso Elie, Elvita Gaspard. Cousins: Jonathan Voltaire, Christopher Jean Louis, Miara bin, Clifton Lacroix, Lynn Keina Innocent, Clara Lacroix, Dave, and Stephanie.
