System Mechanic - Clean, repair, protect, and speed up your PC!Alana Gattenby
On the morning of Nov. 16, 2014, Alana Lee Gattenby journeyed on to eternal rest.
Though her time with us was brief, her light is our comfort. She will forever remain in our hearts.
Alana Lee Gattenby was born on Jan. 8th, 2014, in Loveland, Colo.
Alana's smile and mirthful laugh were a testament to the awesome innocence of her soul.
We loved to watch her dance, and having recently learned to walk, she was happiest on-the-move.
Alana was sweet-natured and precious.
Her bright eyes shown, and she spoke in "ooohs" and "aaahs."
She loved to grunt and swing her stick around, happy to receive our love and hugs and kisses.
She loved the family pets and would actively pursue them.
Alana enjoyed being tickled by her father, swimming, and playing with her mother.
A peek-a-boo / hide-and-go-seek mix could really rein a smile.
Her favorite foods were sweet potatoes and mango (or the elusive remote).
Alana was attentive and curious.
It was the joy of her parents, Shelby and Kelly Gattenby of Loveland, Colo., to raise her.
Alana is survived by her cousins Nathan and Kira Kelly, Brianna Gattenby, and Holly and Benjamin Canaga; Aunt Anne Gattenby of Alameda, Cali.; Uncle Matt and Aunt Christy Canaga; Paternal Grandmother Phyllis Gattenby of Dodge City; Maternal Grandmother Cynthia Canaga; and Maternal Great-Grandmother Mary Joan Brinkmeyer of Presho, S. D.
She is predeceased by her maternal Grandfather Patrick Canaga, as well as paternal Aunt Gretchen Kelly and cousin Brian Murphy.
Many friends and family shared their love with Alana and gave her a reason to smile.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, 1:00 p.m. at Viegut Funeral Home with viewing beginning at 11:00 a.m.
