Maura Aileen Brandt was stillborn on 4/3/14 at 5:38pm at nearly 22 weeks. She was 11 inches long and 14 ounces. Though she never took a breath in this world, she touched so many of us with the love and innocence that only a child can give. She was named after her maternal grandmother, Susan (Aileen) Skahan and for her Irish heritage. Her family believes she would have loved learning about computers with her brother, the beach on Long Beach Island with her sisters, running with her father, and decorating for Christmas with her mother among countless other things in life. Maura is survived by her parents Anthony & Erin Brandt, her brother Alexander Brandt, sisters Kylie and Emily Brandt, paternal grandparents Charles and Sandra Brandt, maternal grandparents William and Susan Skahan, and great-grandmother Grace Marie Skahan.
