ROSENDA ELIZABETH SMILEY WAS BORN MIRACULOUSLY 12/5/09 AND HAD HER BEAUTIFUL LIFE STOLEN 5/25/24 * DAUGHTER SISTER GRANDDAUGHTER NIECE COUSIN GIRLFRIEND FRIEND * NEVER FORGOTTEN - FOREVER LOVED
Rose was brought to this earth through the gift of a miracle. Her parents are Fillmore Lewis Smiley IV and Glori Ann Smiley (Esquibel). Rose's parents met in 2004 and married in 2007. Rose's mom was told by several doctors that she would never be able to conceive and suffered through several miscarriages. Rose's parents tried conceiving for years and finally consulted with an in vitro fertilization specialist. Sadly, Glori's grandfather passed away and Rose's parents went to New Mexico. Then Rose's mom became pregnant. Glori always felt like Rose was a gift from her grandparents. Rose is truly a miracle.
Rose was born at St. Bernardine Medical Center on December 5th, 2009. Rose was the most beautiful baby. Glori fell in love with Rose the moment she found out that she was pregnant with Rose. Fillmore's life was changed the moment Rose was born and felt an unconditional love he had never felt before. Rose brought her parents meaning and purpose beyond belief. Rose's parents were fortunate to be able to spend the first several years of Rose's life working and gaining education from home. The ability to spend so much time with Rose was a gift from the Universe. Then another miracle. Nine months after Rose was born her parents found out that she was going to have a little brother. Fillmore "Cinco" Lewis Smiley V was born on June 7, 2011. Cinco has always loved his sister the most of all. Watching the two of them grow up has been the greatest joy two parents could ever experience.
Anyone whose life was touched by Rose knows how truly special she was. The word 'unique' is overused in our modern lexicon but Rose truly was like no other. An easy way to get to know Rose is by clicking on these three links.

How do I live without you?
Oh my love I do not.
You are with me from the moment I open my eyes until they close.
And even after that, on the plane of dreams where mortals and souls meet, you are with me still.
“I’ve not learned to live without you,
perhaps I never will, the truth of the matter is, you are always with me still.”
You walked such a blazing pathway, when your feet were on this earth, that your imprint lingers on and I place my own feet in your steps, one by one.
How do I live without you?
It’s really very simple.
I do not.
“I have yet to live without you,
perhaps I never will,
perhaps the key to grief is,
you are always with me still.”
