This is Andrea (Melissa's sister), again.

Earlier today, Clairisa Kelly Mann returned home to live with her Heavenly Father.

Clairisa weighed 1 pound 10 ounces and was 13 inches long. She had lots of dark hair. Melissa said that she is beautiful.

Melissa is recovering from an emergency c-section... and a broken heart.

Please keep Melissa, Cory, Katelund and Cloey in your prayers.

I am so sorry for you and your little family. I can't imagine the loss that you must be feeling and no words can express my sympathy for you at a time like this. But she will always be your daughter forever and ever.

I know your pain well, and I am praying for you, Cory and your girls. There is nothing anyone can say or do to make this any easier. Just lean on the Lord, and he will ease your pain.
