That is what my sister said when Mom left us April 21, 2007. Her namesake, Zoe Violet, was due to arrive around May 28th. We had known for some time that Paul and Beki were having a girl and what the baby's name was to be. Mom was so excited to have a great-granddaughter named after her. Several of us girls (including Beki :) were hoping that Beki wouldn't go over her due date into June. In fact, we thought it would be especially neat if Zoe was born on May 21st, exactly a month after Mom's passing.But we heard Mom say it before and we would have heard her say it this time, "this baby wanted her own date." Zoe Violet made her debut around 9:30 pm on Tuesday, May 22nd! She weighed 7 lbx 5 oz and was 19 inches long. Zoe means "life". So incredibly fitting, don't you think?

How sweet!
I'm going to echo Rachel, that is very sweet!
She is indeed our little "flower"! I fell in love with her the instant I saw and held her in my arms. She gets cuter each day, too! Mama would have been so HAPPY! Daddy cannot wait to get his hands on her, either. (He loves babies as much as mama did - no wonder we were called the "Baby Family")
