Selah James Bennett
Coats, NC—Selah James Bennett, of 184 Irbin Drive passed
away peacefully in her mommy’s arms on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at UNC
Hospital in Chapel Hill. Selah was
born at 2:26pm on Monday, October 29, 2012 and saw the eyes of Jesus at 1:04am
on Tuesday morning. She is the
infant daughter of Jason and Brittany Bennett of Coats, North Carolina. She is the granddaughter of David
Bennett and Connie Bennett of Lillington, North Carolina and Bobby and Mitzi
White of Kinston, North Carolina. She
is also the niece of Jonathan and Kimberly Bennett of Lillington, North
Carolina, and Link and Christy Neal of Los Angeles, California and the cousin
of Lily, Lincoln, and Lando Neal and Zane Bennett.
In Selah’s passing we felt God’s presence as family members
talked and sang to her in her final moments. Selah defied the odds and opinions, as the doctors believed
she would not survive more than a few minutes after birth. The Lord gave us ten unforgettable
hours with our beautiful baby girl and we are incredibly thankful for that
time. She was a little warrior and
the strength and peace of God was upon her all the way to the end. She had her mommy’s nose and lips and
her daddy’s eyes. We will never
forget our perfect little angel.
A public memorial service will be held in memory of Selah on
Monday, November 5, 2012 at 6pm at Church Alive 5309 Umstead Road in
Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.

ReplyDeleteFor I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
