Our beloved 13 year old daughter, Liana Joy Ihde, passed from this Earth plane on December 16th at 1:27 pm. She was in her backyard laying in a nest of blankets, under a canopy of trees, surrounded by her mom, Kristie; dad, Stephan; and younger sister, Zoe; her favorite pets, and loving friends. After a 13-month challenge with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, her body no longer had the ability to sustain embodied life. Her spirit was - and is - bright and strong - brighter and stronger than we can possibly imagine. In her last hours, she declined more pain medication and was as present in her dying as she was in her living. She lived her name - Liana Joy - as she was so full of joy, and she knew that she was deeply loved. Thank you, Liana Joy, for the joy you shared with all whose lives you forever changed. You are always and forever our girl, our love. Please visit our caringbridge site, For the Love of Liana, for information on a remembrance and celebration of life to be held in Asheville, NC and central Florida in the coming weeks. www.caringbridge.org/visit/lianajoyihde
We are also asking that in lieu of flowers, please consider donating to our go fund me. We will use those funds to take our own "Make a wish" trip and do things that Liana wanted to do, but didn't get to. You can find the GFM at https://www.gofundme.com/f/big-love-for-liana-joy
