Ava Grace Sizemore, 7 months, passed away peacefully in her parents’ arms at 12:35 a.m. Jan. 27, 2015, at Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis. She was born June 4, 2014, to Jason and Jerika Aker Sizemore, Warsaw, who survive. After being diagnosed with severe combined immune deficiency and undergoing a stem cell transplant, she had a four-month battle with many complications. She was so strong and proved the doctors to be wrong so many times, until their little angel was called to our Lord, though she will be dearly missed by so many. During her short seven months she touched and changed so many lives for the better, she is a true inspiration and will forever be their hero. She is loved deeply by family, friends and people who had never met her before. Her life was a brief gift that will never be forgotten. During her brief visit on Earth, she loved music, soft blankets and toys and being held close by her parents. She also is survived by a brother, Alex Sizemore; and a sister, Makia Lucas; grandparents, Kathy and James Dawson, Leesburg; Jodi Lines; Warsaw; and Troy and Jessie Aker, Kissimmee, Fla. Services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel, Warsaw, with Pastor Brian Lowe, of New Life Christian Church & World Outreach, officiating. Burial is in Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw. Calling is from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. “Dearest Ava, please know our greatest blessing was you.” ***** Memorials to the family, c/o McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel, 2290 Provident Ct., Warsaw, IN 46580; or Riley Children's Foundation, 30 S.
