Carla, I haven't stopped crying since I read this... and re-wording every response that I write because it's not coming out right.

Carla, here is what I know. That sweet little girl touched every single one of us that knew of her. Her eyes shone so bright. She was just a perfect little angel. Carla, Josi KNEW she was loved and that was because of YOU. You were the one who went down to visit her, bathe her, brush her hair and tuck her in like every child should feel. You were the one who nurtured her when she had been through so much. You blessed her life and I know she blessed yours.

I will write more...Tony said I need to collect myself ...

Please tell me how we can help honor Josi's life. I will pray without ceasing for you, your family, her birth mother and the other family.

I have been trying to email you all day. I am so sorry and so heart broken...for you and myself. I know it sounds strange but I became SO ATTACHED to the children...of all of us on the FALL BLOG...who we all risked never bringing home by starting when we did...but still all risked it for the love of these children.

I have been in tears all day...and her sweet face is on my mind.

we love you girl....and I am praying for peace and just trying to find peace in seeing Josi danceing with the Angels in Heaven tonight.

Dear God!!!

I can not believe this has happened! Words will never express the deep sorrow I feel for you and your family. My heart is just broken for you. Please know you are in my prayers.
