On the evening of October 6, 2015, after being brought into the world at 3:51 a.m. that morning Annaleigh passed away in the comfort of her mother and father’s arms at the Children’s Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. While her time on earth may have been only 16 hours her grace and love will be felt for eternity.
Annaleigh was the second daughter to Tim and Mandi Bastian. She was born at 30 weeks gestation and was a true fighter from the moment she entered this world. Throughout the day of overcoming many hurdles, Annaleigh grew tired from the constant fight and it was time for her to become an angel in Heaven. In the short time Annaleigh was here, she made a profound impact on every life she touched and her mom and dad will be forever grateful for the opportunity to be her parents.
Annaleigh was preceded in death by her Great Grandparents; Bus and Cora Roberts, Harry Reinig, Ralph and Alice Weyerbacher, and Elwyn and Evelyn Bastian. Also, her Uncle Daniel Bastian and aunts Amber Bastian and Wendy Bastian.Annaleigh is survived by her Mom and Dad, Mandi and Tim, and big sister Raya. Her grandparents, Sandy and John Leichner, Dennis and Roxy Roberts, and Jim and Cathy Bastian. Her aunts and uncles Andrea and Duane Herinckx, Chris and Cassie Bastian, Karin and Scott Helmig, and Megan and Kyle Oliver and numerous cousins.

Tim and Mandi, we are holding you in our prayers and sorry about your little gal. It is hard to lose loved ones, and has to be very hard to lose a child you had so little time with. This happened to my nephew and after they bought their own place, they bought a rose bush each year in honor of her and it reminds them of her beauty. May the Lord ease your pain and know that others do care.

H. says
The pain of losing a loved one is indescribable. I would like to offer my deepest condolences to all the family and friends. She will always be remembered in your hearts. One thing that has brought me great comfort is the words found in Revelation 21:3,4: “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'” God longs to get rid of all death and suffering. He wants us to live happily, which is why He has given us the hope of being able to see our dead loved ones again on a paradise earth. (Isaiah 25:8; Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:11,29)

There is no greater gift in life then god’s gift of a child, But then , there is no greater pain , then a lost of a child. Tim and Mandi, I do understand that pain, in time it will ease, it will never go away. Memories no matter how long or short you may of had will be your strength as will having your other daughter love fill the moments
