Swayne Addison Bradley

Swayne Addison Bradley was born silent into this world, but her little life spoke volumes. Swayne, daughter of Mark and Paige Bradley of Groesbeck, Texas, was born September 30, 2018, in Bedford, Texas.  

Swayne is greeted in heaven by her sister Laken Lou, paternal uncle; Bryan Bradley, maternal great grandparents; Henry and Nelda Padgett, paternal great grandparents;  A.B. and Udean McBay and B.L. and Gussie Lou Bradley.  

Swayne is survived by her mom and dad, Mark and Paige Bradley of Groesbeck; maternal grandparents, James Henry and Angela Padgett of Centerville; paternal grandparents, James L. Bradley, Sr. and Diana Bradley; maternal grandparents; Cooper and Linda Sullivan of Centerville; maternal great great-grandparents Dorothy Luedke of Centerville; maternal aunts, Preslie Padgett and fiancé Devin Dean of Timpson and Callie Padgett of Navasota; paternal aunts and uncles, Stephen and Casey Bradley of Groesbeck, Christopher and Nancy Bradley of Groesbeck, James L., Jr. and Rachel Bradley of Groesbeck, Liz Bradley of Wortham and a great host of great aunts, uncles and cousins.

Sometimes when making something so precious, beautiful, and unique, it takes an extra helping heart. Left unable to carry their own child after the loss of Laken, God placed into their lives a kind and generous surrogate to carry their baby. Kendra Schiller carried Swayne with all the love and enthusiasm they could hope for.  

Swayne will live forever in her parent’s hearts. The touch of tiny hands and feet will always be felt. A little face that resembled her daddy will always be remembered. A precious daughter so desperately wanted, but taken too soon. Peace is found in knowing the first thing she saw when she opened her little eyes was the face of Jesus.
