Photo of newborn cradled in late father's motorcycle gear goes viral

A photo of a newborn girl surrounded by symbols of her late fathers’ favorite pastime— riding motorcycles— has gone viral after being posted on Friday.

Baby Aubrey is shown swaddled in a pink blanket, with her father’s motorcycle helmet behind her and one glove under her head and another resting on her body.

According to a GoFundMe page and a blog post by a family friend, Aubrey’s father, Hector was killed on April 28. Her mother, Kathryn Seable Wiliams, was engaged and planned to marry Hector a week before the baby was due. The GoFundMe page has been set up to support Aubrey’s upbringing.

The photo, taken by Kim Stone Photography, has over 328,000 likes on Facebook.

“They say that angels are talking to babies when they smile in their sleep. I guess maybe that's true,” Stone, who is based in Marianna, Florida, wrote in the Facebook post.

It was not specified where the family lives.
