Reese Emersyn Scantling of Waldron, Arkansas was welcomed into the arms of Jesus, on Thursday, February 6, 2020 in Little Rock, Arkansas with her family by her side. Reese was born October 15, 2019 in Little Rock, Arkansas to Eli and Hannah (Thompson) Scantling. She was 3 months old.
Reese touched the hearts of many and was incredibly loved. She had the sweetest soul with a touch of sass. She adored her daddy and they could spend hours just sitting and staring at one another. Her favorite thing to do was cuddle in mommy’s arms and read books. Reese was always styling with her big bows and pretty clothes and didn’t go a day without catching someone’s eye. We will forever miss our baby girl, but are at peace knowing she’s completely healed and perfectly loved in the hands of Jesus.
Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
