Carter Nicolas Ransing came into our world at 4:04AM on June 30, 2009. But he came to us too soon and in spite of expert and compassionate care by the Doctors and Nursing Staff at Women and Babies Hospital, he could not stay with us and left this world on July 4, 2009. In his all too brief time on earth, he was cared for and loved deeply by his mother, Katy. His contentment was in her arms. As she played soft music for him, which she had done all during the pregnancy, he opened his sapphire blue eyes to see the face of the one who loved him beyond measure.

He will be sorrowfully missed by his grandparent, Jerry and Maxine as well as his Aunts, Laura, Noreen and Julie. Family friend Annie, spent many hours at his bedside and was of great comfort to Katy. He is also survived by Uncles Jerry and Erik. His thirteen cousins will remember him in pictures and stories.

Carter's valiant effort to survive was an inspiration to everyone. He is resting comfortably in a place of peace and serenity. Katy and her family and friends have all been enriched and touched in the deepest recesses of their hearts by having known him. He will never be forgotten. We lift you up on wings of love, Carter.

A graveside service will be held at St. Joseph New Catholic Cemetery, Charles Road,  Bausman ,PA on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 3:00PM with the Rev. Dean Jurgens officiating. Arrangements are by the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home and Chapel. To send condolences, please visit www.snyderfunerslhome.com
