Mikayla was born on May 31, 2001 to Derek and Michelle (McGreevy) Weimer in Denver, Co. She lived in Gering, Nebraska with her loving family. Mikayla was born with semibar holoprosencephaly but it did not define whom she was or how much she was able to accomplish. Mikayla greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations of her and was a perfect example of patience and determination. Mikayla’s life started as a small spark and through the past 3 years it has become a wildfire of hope, love, and peace. She has truly inspired everyone to perform to his/her best potential and live life to the fullest. We thank her for showing us the things in life that are truly important.
Mikayla was our gift from God and proof that the most powerful lessons come in small and unassuming packages. To have spent a minute with her was to love her. Her life touched everyone who knew her or of her in a way unique to each individual. Her spirit touched deeply and will always be with all of us. She loved her sisters and her Di Di. She loved her therapy, therapists, swimming and riding horses. She will be missed greatly but never forgotten. Godspeed your journey, Peanut.
