Born into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 10:55 A.M., River Skye Wooley was the cherished child of Skyler Wooley and Emily Mason, and a light whose presence was felt long before their arrival and will be remembered long after.

As Ecclesiastes gently reminds us:
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die…a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

Though we only held River for a moment, they will be held in our hearts for a lifetime.

“Tiny toes we will never count, your skin we will never smell…You left this world before you came, and now we are apart. I hope you felt our warmth, our love, the beating of our heart.”

River, though your life was only a whisper, your impact is eternal. You are our angel, our precious dream, and our reminder of how deeply we can love. Until the day we meet again, we will look to the heavens and think of you with every sunrise, every soft breeze, and every star that shines.
