Alaya was born February 23, 2016, and was called Home by God at 10:35 am, that same day.

In loving memory of Alaya Denae Alder, precious daughter of Adam and April.

Survivors include her father, Adam Alder; mother, April Alder; sister Terissa Stewart; and grandparents, Deede and Jim Stoker.

Alaya was greatly loved and will be forever missed. Alaya Denae, it rained on your birthday because God wept when He took our most beautiful angel home to be with him. We will hold you in our hearts forever, until we are there to hold you in our arms again. You are gone but never forgotten. Although we are apart, your spirit lives within us, deep inside our hearts. We love and miss you, baby girl, but we will be together again. Rest in peace, and watch over us.
