Selah James Bennett passed away peacefully in her mommy's arms on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill. Selah was born at 2:26pm on Monday, October 29, 2012 and saw the eyes of Jesus at 1:04am on Tuesday morning.

She is the infant daughter of Jason and Brittany Bennett of Coats, North Carolina. She is the granddaughter of David Bennett and Connie Bennett of Lillington, North Carolina and Bobby and Mitzi White of Kinston, North Carolina. She is also the niece of Jonathan and Kimberly Bennett of Lillington, North Carolina, and Link and Christy Neal of Los Angeles, California and the cousin of Lily, Lincoln, and Lando Neal and Zane Bennett.

In Selah's passing we felt God's presence as family members talked and sang to her in her final moments. Selah defied the odds and opinions, as the doctors believed she would not survive more than a few minutes after birth. The Lord gave us ten unforgettable hours with our beautiful baby girl and we are incredibly thankful for that time. She was a little warrior and the strength and peace of God was upon her all the way to the end. She had her mommy's nose and lips and her daddy's eyes. We will never forget our perfect little angel.
