Obituary of Malaya Reese Webson

Malaya Reese Webson, 11 weeks 6 days young, of Hudson Falls, NY passed away 3/5/2016 in the loving arms of her parents at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, NYC. Malaya fought against Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) as long as her little body could withstand. Born 12/13/15, Sweet Malaya was the daughter of Zsaunelle Dawn Webb & Enock David Webson of Hudson Falls, NY. Before Malaya was even born, her parents knew of her heart defect, which was closely monitored throughout pregnancy. It's not easy hearing your baby will be subjected to open heart surgery soon after birth (and multiple surgeries after that), but it was said to be something she would overcome. Once born, Malaya spent 9 wonderful days at home with her parents, family, and friends. Everything seemed to be okay and she would continue to be monitored until surgery. As first time parents, Nellie & Enock were on cloud 9 with their precious bundle. Their fur baby, Blaze, loved having his new sister around and continued to be very protective of her, as he did when she was still in mommy's belly. Mom loved dressing her in the most stylish outfits with matching hair pieces - she was going to be a sweet diva, for sure. Daddy's little girl had him wrapped around her little finger from the second he laid eyes on her. Then, on the 10th day home, her difficulties started and she was admitted to Albany Medical Center. She was later transferred to Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, where she stayed the remainder of her time with us. Malaya will be missed by far more people than she ever met. She was an angel far too beautiful for earth. The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak & disappointment. - In the short time you were with us, sweet Malaya, you changed our lives forever. We are so grateful for the time we had with you & are only comforted by the fact you are no longer in any pain. May you always be with us and we love you for always. Soar high, our gorgeous little heart warrior. A funeral service will be held at 2:30 pm Friday, March 11, 2016 at Flynn Bros. Inc. Funeral Home, 13 Gates Ave. Schuylerville NY, with Rev. Martin Fisher, officiating. Calling hours will be 1pm-2:30pm. Burial will follow at Notre Dame Cemetery, 115 Burgoyne Rd Schuylerville NY.
