In loving memory of our Kalibugg

Kali Rena Parrish

May 2, 2005 – December 2, 2015
Lived 10 years
Effingham Memorial Gardens · Springfield, Ga
Kali was the daughter to Shana Parrish and big sister to Evan Williams. Kali was born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, she was diagnosed with since birth. Her condition was very severe but that never stopped her family from helping her live a wonderful life. She lived her days around loving family, wonderful nurses and special friends. She enjoyed doing crafts and listening to music. She had a cute personality, you knew when she was tired and didn’t want to be bothered (she’d play possum). She was always dressed to impress and always had a bow in her hair. Kali’s life was short but she brought so much love and joy to the ones around her. Lady bugs remind us that she’s still around us. They appear every holiday every special event. *God blessed us with a beautiful girl who thought us that even though she had medical challenges she fought hard every single day with the love and support of her family. She was such a blessing to everyone she came into contact with her. Until we meet again baby girl, we love you Kalibugg🐞
