such a young age its just not right to her or her children. also for a parent to bury their child is not the way its suppose to work !! thoughts with family, friends, & children ( including those she was helping care for !!! )

To the family..(Especially you Steve) I am so sorry that once again something so horrible has happened. I had not seen her much since she grew up but I have memories of that sweet Hillbilly Baby running around my house. She was an awesome child and it sounds like she stayed that way. I pray she rests at ease in her Mothers arms in heaven and all who remain here find peace in forgiveness and each other
