To the Joseph Family,
Chey'nia, you are and will forever be a beautiful princess that God created with time,patience, and love. You were sent here as an angel that embodies Gods pure love and peace you were given as a gift to Cherina and Rudy and your brothers and sister...a gift so precious that shines as a ray of light in their hearts. Although i dont know Chey'nia in the natural but i know her by her spirit for she is a child of God, and she will continue to be in your hearts forever. I'm a friend of Duvains and he talks about this beautiful girl as if she was his own daughter and i know you will truly miss her as well, but God will see you through this I know God did not allow her to suffer, she crawled on Gods lap and slept peacefully. I'll continue to keep your whole family in prayer, God will take care of you all. God bless.

To the Joseph Family,

Our thoughts and prayer are with you and the entire family of the lost of Chey'nia. Aunt Jamie called us on Sunday and told us the tragic news. We know that God has everything in control and that she is one of his little angels now. Yes, anger is going to come, because that is our natural instinct, but through it all, God will give us the strength in any circumstances that comes our way. We just have to stay strong and believe that there is a purpose behind everything that happens. We don't know why certain things in our life happen when and as they do, but we do know that the Bible says "In Christ Jesus I can do ALL things". I know your faith and commitment to Jesus Christ WILL bring you and your family through this and you will be a testimony to someone, or many, for what you are going through. Keep the faith and know that you are being lifted up to God in prayers every minute of every day. You are a wonderful person and you will be stronger after this. Love Always, Cousin Liza Dupree. And Aunt Libby Dupree also sends her love and prayers. PS: If we can do anything, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sweet Angel Chey'nia,
God gave me the blessed chance of meeting you in Tallahassee this year. I was so excited when I saw you and your mom walk through the door of my hotel room. Who would have guessed that it would be my last time holding you and looking into your precious eyes. I knew when I saw you that you were a special child, so full of energy and very intelligent. You will be truly missed by everyone. It is hard for us to comprehend the loss but we know you are in a great place where you can play and have fun at anytime. I will always cherish the brief memories of you. Farewell Sweet Angel Chey'nia.
Cherina and Rudy, death is more difficult to understand when someone dies unexpectantly. I know you're hurting right now and there is a big hole in your heart, but with God's grace, each day will get easier. You will start remembering the good times and the fun she brought into your lives. I want you and your family to know that I love you all dearly and will always be there for you. GOD BLESS!

My little angel...
I truly believe that God put you on this earth for a task that you completed so gracefully. You were one of the greatest and purest joys of my life. You were nothing short of an angel on earth and I praise God for the opportunity to meet and love a real life angel. I love you forever and always!

HER MOTHER Cherina Forshee/ Joseph

June 13, 2007

Thank you all for all your wonderful and thoughtful words. Out of every news post I deeply am greatful to the palm beach post.They told my story correctly. Chey'nia was my world. It's so hard at this time not seeing my little girl come running to my arms. She slept with me every night. I can no longer roll over and see her next to me. Lately she would wake me up 7 am patting me several times on the head until I would get up. She then would led me to the fridge to get her some juice. I long to have that gesture back again. God only knows the truth how Chey'nia got in the car that day. It burns knowing I was inches away from the car not knowing my baby was inside baking in the hot sun. All I know is that I loved that baby dearly. She would bring me her little sandals throughout the day for me to put on her. I'd say " No Nia we aren't going anywhere now". When I found my baby she was in her car seat ready to go somewhere. Chey'nia brought joy and happiness to our family. My oldest daughter had a dream about Chey'nia last week. She woke up telling me "Mommy Nia was in a car accident and she died". I didn't listen thinking it would have been an accident on the road. I told her "No baby, Nia is not gonna die we have to have good dreams, I rebuke that dream in the name of Jesus. I know now that God sends us signs and warnings and maybe we should pay closer attentio to our children when they speak to us. At first I blamed God for this,I grew up in church all my life. I called on Jesus from the moment I saw her. I had so much faith knowing God would breath his breath back into her body, even after the doctor had said she was dead.When he didn't answer my call I was so angry. I now have come to realize this was all for the glory of god. He has a purpose for my little angel. I would have never thought she would be all over the world like this. All I wanted was for Chey'nia not to be thrown away and not thought of ever again. I will forever love my little princess and I will miss her so much. I cant describe the pain I feel without breaking into tears. It's unbearable. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy. I thank you all again. If anyone would like to help with donations to help with burial expenses. Please call my cell (772)626-8691. We need all the help we can get right now to put my precious baby away at peace. Thank you all
from her mother always

Dear God,
Please give these people the strength to get through this.
I could never imagine losing one of my children. It is unnatural for a parent to lose a child.
May God be with her soul.
May God be with her parents, and use his hand to guide theirs, as they navigate their way through this tragedy.
Turning this horrible event into something illuminated. Something good. Something blessed.

Please believe that God never makes mistakes. It wasn't anything you all as parents did, God just wanted her there with him as another wonderful Angel. May he give you the strength to understand and know that no one is to blame. In the Purpose Driven life book we are only here as foster kids because this is not our final resting place, just that some go home earlier than others. Also remember "weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning". God Bless You and Your Family and I will keep you in my prayers.
