 Kendree Foreman, 2 months, daughter of Travis and Kassandra Foreman of Orient, passed away Friday, October 8, 2010 at the Avera Hand County Memorial Hospital in Miller.
Kendree was born July 30, 2010 to Travis and Kassandra Foreman in Aberdeen. She joined big brother, Teagan and big sister, Kyler. Kendree was born with Truncus Arteriosus Type II, a very rare Congenital Heart Defect. Even though her time here was short, she left a huge impact on everyone’s lives. When Kendree would smile, she would light up your world. She was a very strong, independent and lovable girl. With everything she went through, she was a fighter and survivor; she was a great baby with a sweet soul. Kendree was just beginning to giggle and reach for things.
Blessed to have shared in her life are her parents, Travis and Kassandra Foreman and siblings, Teagan and Kyler Foreman; paternal grandparents, Doyle and Kay Foreman; maternal grandparents, Ed and Tina Johnson; aunts and uncles: Kayla Foreman, Cody Foreman, Jon Halling and Alicia Halling; great grandparents: Darrel and Stella Foreman, Victor and Erma Woodruff and Dar and Connie Johnson; and all her cousins who loved her.
Waiting to greet her at Heaven’s gate is her maternal grandfather, David Herrick and great grandma, Joyce Woodruff, paternal great grandmother Darlene (Allen) Bernard.
Heaven is the face of a little girl
With dark brown eyes that disappear when she smiles
Heaven is the place where
she calls my name
Says, “Daddy please come
play with me for awhile”
God, I know, it’s all of
this and so much more
But God, You know,
that this is what I’m aching for
God, You know, I just can’t see beyond the door, so right now
Heaven is the sound of her
breathing deep
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms
Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams
And God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more
But God, You know, that this is what I’m longing for
God, You know, I just can’t see beyond the door
Heaven is a sweet kiss
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand
And leads me to You and we both run into Your arms
Oh God, I know, it’s so much more than I can dream
It’s far beyond anything I can conceive
So God, You know, I’m trusting You until I see
Heaven in the face of my little girl
Heaven in the face of my little girl
