Obituary of Kendal Hope Owens

"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Kendal Hope Owens, infant daughter of Kevin and Marie Owens was carried to Heaven by Angels on Sunday (May 19, 2013) at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Kendal Hope from the moment mommy started carrying you in her belly we couldn't wait to see your sweet face and the day you were born we knew many prayers that had gone up for you had been answered; you were the miracle we knew you would be!! You exceeded so many expectations. We are so proud of you! Although God only gave us a short 6 days on this earth with you, you have changed our lives forever. We will miss you every second of every day but will rest in knowing we will see you again in heaven one sweet day. Until we see you again, hold to the father's hand and so will we. We will always love you baby girl. She was preceded in death by her special grandparents and several family members.
