NEW GLASGOW – Abigail Grace Walsh, 12 week old baby girl of Andrew and Amy (MacNeil) Walsh, New Glasgow, was carried to Heaven in the arms of an angel on Sunday, October 5, 2008. Born on July 8, 2008 at the IWK Health Centre, Halifax, Abigail began life with serious congenital heart defects, spending the first two months of her life in hospital. She finally arrived home on September 5 to the love of an adoring family. Abigail was a cuddly, happy child, whose smile melted the hearts of everyone who met her. Unfortunately, on Sunday evening the best medical care could not keep her with us. She now plays, whole and pain free, surrounded by the love of her Eternal Father, waiting for her mommy and daddy. Surviving besides her parents, are her brother, Riley; sisters, Madison and Olivia; maternal grandparents, Lloyd and Darlene MacNeil, Stellarton; paternal grandparents, Raymond and Lynn Walsh, New Glasgow; maternal great-grandmother, Roberta MacNeil, Pictou; paternal great-grandmother, Joyce McMullen, Trenton; aunt, Tasha Walsh (Adam House), Kingston, Ont.; uncles, Matthew (Jonessa) MacNeil, New Glasgow; Darcy (Missy) Walsh, Thorburn; cousin, Cassidy Walsh, Thorburn; numerous aunts and uncles. She was predeceased by maternal great-grandmother, Margaret Jeffers; maternal great -grandfather, Patrick MacNeil; paternal great-grandparents, Jimmy and Doris (Myette) Walsh; paternal great-grandfather, Elmer McMullen. The family will receive visitors 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, in P. & K. MacDonald Funeral Home, New Glasgow from where funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Thursday in the chapel with Rev. Dr. Glen Matheson officiating. Interment will be in Bethel Cemetery, Scotsburn. Family flowers only. Donations may be made in Abigail’s memory to the IWK Health Centre Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia. HALF OF AN ANGELS HEART It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus, "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that she is just going for a visit. She is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. She asks, "Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies, "Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says, "When you are born, your Mommy and Daddy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
