She passed away surrounded by many loved onesat the University of Utah Hospital from an unexpected blood clot inher brain. Aimee fought valiantly and was so brave. She was like ashooting star that amazed us with her beauty, but she was only in ourmidst for a short time before she ascended into another realm.

Aimee was born on April 12, 1994, to Wendee Lynne Pease and Ken Henline. She is survived by her parents, Wendee and Garrett Pease, and Ken and Emily Henline. She is also survived by her sister, VictoriaPease, and brothers, Aaron Pease, Joseph Henline, and Zachary Henline.She is also survived by her grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles,cousins and friends who loved her dearly. She is now enjoying thecompany of her Aunt Angee and other loved ones in heaven.

Aimee was an active and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christof Latter-day Saints and loved participating in the Young Women'sOrganization in her ward. Her greatest desire when planning activitieswas that everyone felt included. She had a great love for thescriptures and found that as she read them, her pains and the cares ofthe world would lessen.

In her senior year at Herriman High School, she especially enjoyed hertheatre class and theatre-related activities. Aimee treasured spendingtime with her wonderful friends. She was so very talented and loved tosing, act, dance, and entertain whenever she could. On her Facebookpage, she wrote: "I'm so happy I want to sing till I lose my voice andhum till I get it back." She loved theatre and put all she had intothe different roles she played. As a child, she played the perfectpart as Annie with her curly red hair and her feisty personality. Sheloved working on crafts, especially with her mom. Wendee and Aimeewere very close and one of the last things she told her mom was"you're my best friend." Together, mother and daughter formed abeautiful duet and their singing provided much joy. Aimee, we'll bewatching for you in the Heavenly Chorus of Angels!

At family gatherings, she loved to have a baby in her arms andchildren playing around her. She loved spending time with her familyand cousins, and they enjoyed many fun and happy times together. Sheconsidered her cousins as her most treasured friends. She loved beingwith her family and hated to see the party breaking up when it wastime to go home.

Aimee had a very strong spirit and always kept life interesting.Something we all loved about Aimee was, whether easy or hard, she didthings her own way. She could talk you into almost anything she puther mind to. Her favorite word was "amazing" and she used itfrequently. We think she is one of the most amazing people we willever know. Aimee loved giving service and her final act of service wasto donate to the Intermountain Donation Services with the hope ofhelping others.

  1. Love you Aimee. I will miss your beautiful smile and you running over our lawns to tell me about a "cute" boy or a new song you love. Goodnight sweet girl. I hope to see you again someday.

  2. How beautiful. It made me think about when you two were taking voice lessons together. I could tell how much fun you were having by what you were writing in your blog. Those will be some happy memories for you to smile about for years to come. (((HUGS)))

    She was such a beautiful young woman here on earth, but the Lord needed her more up in Heaven right now than we do here on earth. She surely will be missed.

Friday Update

I'm sorry if we didn't get you called and you find out this way, but my sweet Aimee didn't surive. She's still on a respirator so her heart is beating but she's not with us. I'm really struggling right now. We haven't told our younger kids yet and I need to get some sleep so I can think. I'll try to post again later today.

later, but still early Friday morning

While the procedure went well and they were able to clear some of the clotting away, all is not done. A CT scan after the procedure showed that some of the key clots were cleared, but there was still a lot of clots and more bleeding. There pressure was high enough that bleeding continued in the spinal cortex region. At one point, after being moved back to the critical care unit, Aimee had a heart attack because the pressure in her head was still too high. The doctors were there and her blood pressure dropped to 0 for only a few seconds before they were able to assist the heart. At that point, they decided that the best thing to reduce the pressure was medicate her into a deep coma. That is where things are right now. Aimee appears to be resting peacefully as the doctors watch. It is now a time to wait and see what will happen next. As one Doctor put it, she is in the woods and we are taking things hour by hour. We are hoping and praying for the best.

Monday's Updates

I thought it would be much easier to update everyone using a blog than to try to call and talk to everyone about what is going on. I feel really grateful for all the support you've all given in calling and emailing and texting. I'm sorry I haven't been as responsive as I wish I could have. Things have been very crazy! So if you don't know what's been going on here are the basics. Aimee has been having migraines for a couple months and they've been escalating. It's been quite debilitating and she's missed lots of school because of the pain she's been in. We hadn't been able to find any answers as to what was causing the headaches or how to stop them. Yesterday afternoon she became very disoriented, her speech was slurred, she was seeing double, was dizzy and couldn't stand on her own. I took her to the ER and after doing a CT scan they found a subdural hematoma (she has a very small bleed in her brain). Sunday night I rode with her in t...
