Ravyn RaeJean Bauer

Ravyn was a beautiful little girl born at St Patrick's Hospital in Missoula to Todd and Terrie Bauer. Shortly after she was born she was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and was flown to Colorado Children's Hospital in Denver. While there she made it into the hearts of the staff with her spicy attitude and the need to be the center of attention. Ravyn loved to listen to books being read and songs sung to her by her parents. Most of all she loved to hear her brother Gunner. His voice and giggles always made her open her eyes to look for him. Her heart was physically broken but she made up for that with love and spirit ten fold. She didn't want sympathy or pity. She was strong and courageous. She took each day in stride and looked out with hope and determination every morning waiting to tackle each obstacle she encountered. She never showed fear or defeat. When she stumbled and fell, she reached out for mom, dad, or big brother, took their hand and started pulling herself back up. She never stopped trying to cheat death. She embraced the hard and lived her life the best she could without regret. She was Ravyn and she left her mark on this world!! Ravyn is survived by the love of her father, mother, and big brother. As well as all the family and friends that love and cherish her beautiful soul.
