In Loving Memory of This Treasured
Trisomy 13 Child

Payton Grant Ferguson

Aug 8, 2008 - Sept 4th, 2008.

  Bay Minette, Alabma (AL) - Partial Trisomy 13 with a Trans-location of 17  
 
Our son's name is Payton Grant Ferguson, he was born Aug 8,2 008 and he was called home to God on Sept 4th, 2008. Payton had partial trisomy 13 with a trans-location of 17.

He was born with many abnormalities but you couldn't tell him that. He fought for every breath he took. We were so blessed to have such a wonderful gift from God. Payton has moved our hearts in ways we didn't think were possible and in the short amount of time he was here he taught us more in that time then I think I will learn in the rest of my life time.

We will be forever grateful for having him be apart of our lives. We hope the story of his life will reach out to others and help them see that these children are worth a chance. Payton’s story can be read at Mercymedical.com the (2008 winter edu)
 
The thing to remember about trisomy children is not to worry with the things they can not do or how they will die but how they will get to live. "The significance of a life is not measured by its length."

Thank you,
Niki and Ryan Ferguson and our other son Ethan (age 4 1/2)
