JayLee Elizabeth-Maria Bland, 6 months

JayLee Elizabeth-Maria Bland "went to be with the angels" on June 13, 2007.

JayLee was born Nov. 27, 2006, at Ft. Lewis, Wash., to Phylicia and Andrew Bland.

Although her time with us was so short, she always will be shining in our hearts forever. JayLee was the most incredibly happy little girl who loved to giggle, laugh and most of all bring all those around her joy. She always welcomed everyone with a huge smile that instantly melted your heart.

JayLee absolutely adored her older brother, Jace, age 2, and the two of them often were hysterically laughing together and imitating each others' moves.

JayLee touched so many hearts and will never be forgotten.

JayLee was survived by her parents, Phylicia and Andrew Bland, of Big Sandy; her older brother, Jace Bland; her maternal grandparents, Sherrie Bridger and Cameron Lingle, of Kalispell, and Charles and Kathy Toren, of Kalispell; and paternal grandparents, Raelene and Jerry Fredenberg, of Big Sandy, and Tony and Cindy Bland, of Kalispell.

Mass of Christian burial for little JayLee will be held at 12:10 p.m. today, June 19, at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Kalispell, with burial afterward at C.E. Conrad Memorial Cemetery and a reception at the Country Kitchen at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. A memorial fund has been set up for JayLee at the Wells Fargo Bank in Big Sandy.

Johnson Mortuary and Crematory is caring for JayLee's family.

This paid obituary is being run again at the request of the family.
