Life summary: Sweet Rose Grace lived a life filled with extraordinary love, strength, and joy. Her journey began on Christmas Eve 2025 when her parents, Terrance and Kacie, first learned they were expecting. From the start, Rose made her vibrant presence known with energetic kicks and punches in the womb. Faced with unexpected medical challenges during a pregnancy scan in June 2026, Terrance and Kacie held tight to their faith. Rose made her grand arrival early via an emergency C-section on Friday, August 7, 2026, letting the world hear her strong lungs from her very first breath.

A true warrior, Rose was sent home on hospice care to spend her precious days surrounded by her family and overcame a shunt surgery at six weeks old. Over her 12 sweet weeks on Earth, she packed a lifetime of memories into her days: taking truck rides, going on a road trip to Buc-ee's in Arizona, visiting the zoo and an airshow, being dedicated to the Lord, enjoying cozy chest snuggles with her dad, spending time with her sister Lilly, and watching Dancing with the Stars with her mama. Though her time here was short, Rose’s resilient spirit left an enduring impact on everyone who knew her story. She lived every single second surrounded by overwhelming love, leaving behind a legacy of faith, fight, and sweet grace.

Community involvement In honor of her memory and to bring hope to future families, Rose’s parents gifted her rare brain tumor to Stanford University for research.

Personal touch Rose stole hearts long before she took her first breath—from her fierce kicks in the womb to the strong, loud cry that announced her arrival. In her 12 sweet weeks, she filled every room with pure joy and captured the love of everyone around her.
