Obituary of Baby Claire Leanne Gagnon-Reid

"An Angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. And whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth." It is with broken hearts that the family of Baby Claire Leanne Gagnon-Reid announces the birth and passing of their precious baby girl, which occurred on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at the Saint John Regional Hospital surrounded by her family’s love. Baby Claire will be missed by her parents, Benjamin Gagnon and Brittany Reid; brothers and sister: Marshall Reid, Dominic Reid, Savannah Prosser-Reid, and Benjamin Gagnon-Reid; grandparents, James "Jim" Brown and Leanne Sutton (Guy Lanteigne); great-grandmother, Audrey Louise Sutton; several aunts and uncles; and cousins: Sierra, Jayden, Ronnie, Taylor, Trinity, and Xavier. She was predeceased by her cousin, Angel Audrey Sutton-Langille; and great-grandfather, Royce George Sutton. Arrangements are under the care of Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424). A private family service will be held at a later date. For those who wish, remembrances to the Saint John Regional Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit would be appreciated by the family. Please place online condolences and remembrances at www.brenansfh.com. The world may never notice If a rosebud doesn't bloom, Or even pause to wonder If the petals fall too soon. But every life that ever forms, Or ever comes to be, Touches the world in some small way For all eternity. The little one we longed for Was swiftly here and gone. But the love that was then planted Is a light that still shines on. And though our arms are empty, Our hearts know what to do. Every beating of our hearts Says that we love you.
