Jared and Adrianne Neville always knew they wanted a big family, as they had grown up within a large and loving clan of parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Like so many young couples today, they struggled with infertility. Through constant prayer and significant medical intervention, they were thrilled to grow their family with sons Mackin and Rhett, and daughter Maryn. Then they learned they were expecting a fourth with no infertility assistance...their miracle baby. 

 

Eden Elizabeth was born November 9, 2013 in Belleville, Illinois. The family was just settling in at home when they noticed Eden was running a very high fever. She was rushed to the hospital and eventually diagnosed with meningitis. Though she bravely fought the infection and was supported by some of the best medical professional technology available, she completed her journey into God's loving arms on December 6, 2013.

Eden always had family by her side, holding her hand, reading or saying a prayer. Edy's family still believes in miracles and they vow to help miracles happen to others in need through Eden’s legacy.
