On February 23, 2024, Torryn René Helton was born to Gunner and Breanna (Holmes) Helton at Hays Medical Center, and God unexpectantly called her home.  Though left broken hearted, the family is comforted in knowing that part of them will be forever with her. "I carried you every second of your life, and I will love you for every second of mine."
