Lilah Madison Minogue, January 17, 2018 - March 22, 2023 Age 5. Precious and loving daughter of Kevin and Taryn (nee McKay) Minogue. Adored sister of Myles. Treasured granddaughter of John & Barbara Minogue and Dan & Cheryle McKay. Loving niece of Nora Clifford, Jay and Brooke (nee McKay) Rhind, and Tracey McKay and fiancé Luke Meissner. Dear cousin of Patrick, Tim and Kelly Clifford. There are some people here on earth that are born as angels without wings. They are here just for a brief period of time. They come into this life perhaps solely as messengers. To teach us lessons. To teach us unconditional love. To teach us the true meaning of life. To teach us how life is fleeting. And then they leave. And they teach us to let go. These special people touch our lives in the most meaningful ways and change our lives in ways we can't explain. Their souls leave an imprint on our heart. Funeral service private. Please leave a memory for the family on Lilah’s Tribute Wall; your stories will bring comfort to the family. www.sheehyfh.com 708-857-7878.
