Journey was granted her angel wings on Friday, April 22, 2016, when she began her joyfully restored life with her Heavenly Father.

Journey was born February 6, 2013, to Joshua Chairez and Brittly Franklin in Austin, Texas. Though Journey’s life seemed too short to many, she touched and left a footprint on her family and friends’ lives. Her smile and constant laughter could melt the hearts of everyone around her. Journey’s energetic personality could not be slowed down, even during her brave battle.
