SERENITY ROSE “REN”, “RENNY” BOISSENIN
COLORADO SPRINGS, C0-Serenity Rose “Ren”, “Renny” Boissenin, 9.5 months old, peacefully earned her wings on Thursday (Jan. 5, 2012) while battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 at Pikes Peak Hospice in Colorado Springs, CO. Serenity was born on March 11, 2011 at Evans Army Community Hospital in Fort Carson, CO.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put His arms around you and whispered “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you as you slowly slipped away and though we loved you dearly we couldn’t make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, you tired hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. (God Saw You Getting Tired, by Frances and Kathleen Coelho.)
Her family includes her parents, Tyler and Nicole Bailey Boissenin of Colorado Springs, CO; her maternal grandparents, Patricia Bailey of Arkport and Russell (Joanne) Bailey of Wellsville; her paternal grandparents, Steven (Michelle) Boissenin of Wellsville; maternal great-grandmother, Marlene Campbell of Fremont; paternal great-grandparents, Robert Boissenin of Lockport and Earl Hadsell of Glendale, Az.; also her aunts and uncles, Tim (Nichole) Bailey of Arkport, Tiffany Martin of Arkport, William, Kristin and Rachel Fahs of Wellsville; and several great aunts, uncles as well as her two cats, Chevy and Loki.
She was predeceased by her paternal great-grandmother, Jacquelyn Boissenin of Lockport on Dec. 24, 2011.
