Marie Tibbits

With great sadness, we announce that our precious Marie Land Tibbits was born asleep at the Ottawa General Hospital on May 17, 2023. Beloved daughter of Victoria Tibbits and Matthew Land, little sister to Odin Land.

Waiting in heaven to greet Marie is her Aunt Heather, Great Uncle Bill, great Grandmothers, great Grandfathers, and a plethora of great aunts and uncles.

We would like to thank the staff at Ottawa General, for being so kind during our difficult stay, and our friends and family who have been there to help with the aftermath of such an unexpected loss.

To the Child in My Heart

O precious, tiny, sweet little one

You will always be to me

So perfect, pure, and innocent

Just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and of your life

And all that it would be

We waited and longed for you to come

And join our family.

We never had the chance to play,

To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.

We long to hold you, touch you now

And listen to you giggle.

I'll always be your mother.

He'll always be your dad.

You will always be our child,

The child that we had.

But now you're gone...but yet you're here.

We'll sense you everywhere.

You are our sorrow and our joy.

There's love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong.

We'll forget you never-

The child we had, but never had,

And yet we'll have forever.
