Tonight we remember Marietta and send our love to her family.

Marietta was born with an unknown genetic disorder. Her parents did not learn of her developmental issues until she was about 3 months old and they noticed visual impairment. After that point more and more problems began to arise: seizures, severe developmental delays, autism, to name a few of her major struggles. During her first eight years she became strong enough to crawl, get into the sitting position, and pull herself up with support. She LOVED watching TV, especially shows with songs. She enjoyed being tickled and showing her sweet smile. By the age of 9 she had become very weak due to her seizures. In 2005 her scoliosis was so bad that she had to endure spinal fusion surgery. Since then she has continued to regress to the point where now she is unable to move on her own, or sit up. In November 2014 Marietta passed away. 
I will never forget my session with Marietta and the conversations I shared with her mom Coby. Coby had an unconditional love for her daughter and would go to the ends of this earth to ensure her daughter was well taken care of. She devoted herself to Marietta’s needs and comfort. It was beautiful to witness Coby’s patience, strength and gentleness with Marietta.

Please join Sweet Nectar Society in sending prayers to Marietta’s family for continued peace and comfort.
