Charlotte Louise Millard
March 28, 2013
Charlotte Louise Millard was born Wednesday February 27, at 8:09 am, 2 minutes after her twin brother Max. She was strong, healthy, and a fighter. Charlotte was a true little girl who loved her bath time, getting her hair washed, and cuddling with Mommy and Daddy. Early Thursday morning, March 28, Heaven got a new little angel. Her star was just too bright for earth and she went to be with Jesus. She will always be our little girl and will forever be with us. We WILL see her again in Heaven. We may not know the whats and the whys, but we do know God has a plan and he will show us the way. We had a wonderful 28 days with her and got to feel her love. We are so thankful for everyone’s love and prayers during this difficult time. The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at Blank Children’s Hospital NICU for their loving care of Charlotte.
Charlotte is survived by her mommy and daddy, Kelly and Kelly Millard; her twin brother, Max; her big sister, Kadance; grandparents, Dale and Karen Carter, Rick and Lorri Andreas; great-grandparents, Carol Carter and Fay Saltzman; aunt and uncle, Kristy and Chad Briles; cousins, Cate and Cash; aunts, Misty Millard and Mindy Calhoun; cousins, Kayleigh Lively and Gregory Calhoun; many other loving family. She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Dorothy Carter, Keith and Mary Barnard, and Betty Jean Saltzman.
A Celebration of life will be held 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 2, 2013, at Capitol City Baptist Church, 5990 NE 14th Street, Des Moines, with burial to follow at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the family to establish a memorial at Blank Children’s Hospital in honor of Charlotte, at Northwest Bank in Ankeny.

To Charlotte's parents and siblings, I know your hearts are broken at the loss of little ms Charlotte, please take comfort in Jesus's words at John 5:28,29 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus] voice and come out. May God grant you peace during this sad time.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. May the God of all mercies comfort you and give you the strength to endure. I find these passages to be very comforting; Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:1-5; John 5:28-29. My thoughts and prayers are with you that these promises will comfort you.

Our hearts and love go out to you both, max and Kadance. Charlotte will always be the brightest star in Heaven. She will always make us all want to be better people. We all can take comfort knowing she is dancing with the lord, in the arms of family members that passed on before her. Charlotte will always be held near and dear to our hearts. Anything we can do just ask and we will be there for you all always. Charlotte may be gone but she will never be forgotten. Mom & Dad Andreas. Great Grandpa Saltzman.

My heart hurts for you. It is a pain I know too well. We know she is happy with Jesus but the pain is raw. Only time can heal a broken heart. Sadly, time seems to pass more slowly when you are dealing with such a loss. I know that God is good and that He loves us. He can see our future. He knows what is best. Trust Him, for He cares for you. If there is anything I can do, anything, please let me know. I would love to help in anyway I can. You were such a blessing to me as we prepared for VBS. I will continue to pray for all of you. Hugs!

Dear Millards,
My heart hurts with you in your loss of your sweet little girl. We know that Charlotte is with Jesus- and though that thought is a comfort, the pain of losing a baby is a very real one and will take time to lessen. I am so thankful that God cares for his precious tiny ones and keeps them with Him. My family is praying for your family, and for your healing during this time. May the presence of Christ be felt and be a real comfort to you and your family now and always.
Love,
Sarah & the Sharp family
