Ireland ran to Jesus on July 22, 2018. Ireland touched so many lives and brought so much joy in her short time on earth. She loved her family and brought joy and laughter and happiness to our lives. She always said she was “the mom” to her younger brother and sister, and now they are reunited once again. Ireland loved her Bippy and Papa and her Nonni and Papaw so much. She loved being at church and singing her heart out to Jesus. She was mommy and daddy’s special little girl.

Special mentions, Caroline Fields, Angie Fields, Brent Jones and their dog Rowdy.
