How shockingly tragic and horrific. I can't begin to imagine the nightmare that you are going through right now. This is every parents worst nightmare and I am so very very sorry that this has happened to your daughter and family. You will most definately be in our prayers. If there is ANYTHING your forum family can do for you, please just ask. We are here for you and will hold you up in prayer.

Carla,

I am so sorry; Josie was staying with my attorney's sister. The parents and their two young children were also killed. I am leaving tonight for Florida but I will be calling my attorney's daughter in GC when I get back.

Praying for you and your family and my attorney's family.

ALso, praying for your little angel.

Hugs,
