Our precious daughter, Julianna Lee Jackson, was born on October 30, 2025, and passed away on November 23, 2025, surrounded by endless love. Though her time with us was heartbreakingly short, she filled every moment with courage, sweetness, and a beauty that took our breath away. She will always be our sweet baby girl.

Born at just 24 weeks and 5 days, Julianna showed a strength far beyond her tiny size. During her 24 days in the NICU, she touched the hearts of everyone who cared for her. Her perfect little nose, her tiny hands curled around our fingers, and the fierce brave spirit of a true warrior made her unforgettable. Her precious yawns and tiny hand waves, small moments that meant everything, are memories we will hold close forever. She was beautiful in every way a soul can be, inside and out.

We are forever grateful for the moments she gave us, reading her stories, giving her gentle hand hugs, and soaking in every snuggle we were blessed to share. Those moments, though brief, filled our hearts with a lifetime of love.

Julianna is loved beyond measure by her parents, Jenna and Josh; her grandparents, Mike and Chris and Lura and Tyrone; her Aunt Alissa; her Uncle Tyler; her Aunts Krissy and Kelley; and her cousin Cillian. She is held close in the hearts of her entire family, who dreamed of watching her grow and who will forever miss their beautiful baby girl.

Though our arms are empty, our hearts remain forever full because of her. She changed us with her love, her fight, and her presence, and we will honor her by carrying her memory with us always.

We will not be holding a service for Julianna, as we will be honoring her privately as a family. Instead, we ask those who wish to honor her to do so in ways that reflect the love she brought into the world, by speaking her name, keeping her in their prayers, performing a small act of kindness in her memory, or simply holding their loved ones a little closer. Your love and support mean more to us than words can ever express.

"Tiny Footprints on Our Hearts"

These tiny footprints never touched the ground,

never felt the earth or heard a single sound,

yet they left a mark no time will ever part,

your tiny footprints walking softly on our hearts.

Although you were so small and your stay was much too brief,

you gave us memories to treasure and a love beyond belief.

You taught us about courage in your quiet precious way,

and wrapped us in a tenderness we still feel every day.

We never heard your laughter, never saw you learn to run,

but we felt your spirit shining brighter than the sun.

For every moment you were here, you filled our lives with light,

a little soul so beautiful so brave so pure so bright.

And though we cannot hold you close or keep you in our sight,

we know you rest in heaven now held gently in God's light.

Your tiny footprints guide us in everything we do,

and in God's arms you're safe and loved

as we forever carry you.
