INDEPENDENCE, Mo. – A Missouri couple is desperately searching for a missing necklace, because of what’s inside; it contains the ashes of their baby girl.
Daysha Tailia Sky Flaxbeard was to be the couple’s first child. In April, after suffering a dog attack a couple of weeks earlier, Megan Mabry learned at 20 weeks she’d have to deliver a stillborn baby.
“You don’t expect to lose your child. We get to miss out on her first steps. Or her first laugh, or her first drawing. So we don’t have much to share with her,” Mabry said holding back tears.

The couple sought to cherish her memory every way they could. The 9-inch, 13-ounce baby’s ashes were placed in a bear for them to hug, and mixed in with matching tattoos on their arms.
“It has her name, heartbeat and her hand and footprint like actual size on it,” Mabry demonstrated.
The ashes were also placed in necklaces – Megan’s a butterfly, father Dale Flaxbeard’s a heart.
