Carter Andrew Hiland 1, of Sycamore, IL went to be with the angels in heaven on June 2, 2012 from Children?s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. He was born May 28, 2011 and was the son of Derek and Amber (Graves) Hiland of Sycamore.
Carter was a very happy little boy who instantly made friends with everyone he met. He had an infectious smile and loved being tickled; producing hearty belly laughs. He loved being with the other children at daycare, loved being rocked and cuddling with his mommy and daddy. He also loved watching his big brother play.
He loved music and loved being sung to with an acoustic guitar. His favorites were twinkle, twinkle little star, itsy bitsy spider and a special hello to Carter song.
Carter loved foods of all kinds, especially spaghetti, peaches and ice cream.
Although he loved all these things here on Earth, he is now dancing and singing lullabies with the angels in heaven.
