In the 32 weeks before his birth, playful Jude brought his parents, Sean David Delcambre and Amy Susanne Delcambre, an abundance of joy. Though Jude was stillborn, Sean and Amy had the joy of holding their son, kissing his beautiful face, holding his tiny hands and feet, and expressing how much they loved him. Jude was and is a blessing and will be deeply missed. Sean and Amy take comfort in knowing that Jude David will be guarded in heaven by their departed loved ones especially, William Joseph Fields and Vonnie Lillian Opsal. Jude David Delcambre is survived by his father, Sean David Delcambre, 29, and his mother, Amy Susanne Delcambre, 31, and by his sister, Lillianne Myra Delcambre, 18 months. Jude is survived by his great-grandmothers, Luzia Kountz and Myra Anne Fields. He is also survived by his paternal and maternal grandparents, David Wayne Delcambre and Lisa Mary Delcambre, and Joe Tim Brown and Wanda Renshaw Brown. Jude is survived by his aunt, Caitlin Delcambre Karl, and uncles, Michael Martin Delcambre, Adam Joseph Brown, Jacob Matthew Karl, and Zachary Paul Landry. Had Jude David been part of this world, his parents would like to believe that he would have been as happy, energetic, and playful as he was in the womb. Sean and Amy will always think fondly of what their son's life would have been like–what would be his first words; what would be his favorite color; what would he want to be when he grew up? Sean and Amy know Jude David would have been a wonderful brother to his sister, Lillianne, and that she and he would have had a special bond. Sweet Jude will be forever loved and missed by his family whose only comfort is knowing that Jude is safe in the Kingdom of Heaven and that he will never know pain or suffering and that one day he will be reunited with his family. Dear Jude, we'll love you forever, we'll like you for always, as long as we're living our baby you'll be. Visitation will be at 9 AM on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 at the Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home. The graveside service will immediately follow at 10 a.m. in Mobile Memorial Gardens.
