Carter James Ritchie

Carter James Ritchie met Jesus face to face on June 15, 2022.

Dear Carter,

Though we never got to meet you in person, your story has gently made its way into our hearts through the love your family so freely shares.

After a full-term pregnancy filled with love and anticipation, your parents arrived at the hospital expecting to hold you in their arms — only to be met with the unimaginable news that your heartbeat had stopped. With no warning, you were born sleeping on June 15, 2022, at 3:54 p.m. And though your arrival was silent, the love that surrounds you is louder than words.

They say you were absolutely perfect — with a beautiful head full of dark hair and a peaceful presence that left an imprint no time could erase. Your mom, dad, and two big sisters miss you more than words can say, and they carry you with them in everything they do.

You are remembered every time a butterfly floats by — a symbol of your quiet beauty and gentle spirit, a reminder that love endures beyond what we can see.

You are loved deeply, missed endlessly, and remembered always — by your family and now by all of us who’ve come to know you through them.

We can't wait for our reunion in Heaven.

Until then...

Carter James Ritchie, you are loved and never forgotten.

Much love,

Your First Touch Family
