Our daughter Josi...

Our beautiful daughter Josi has been murdered. She died a horrible, brutal death in a home invasion.

We had just received her birth certificate on Monday and were to be submitted to the embassy this Monday.

Please, I am asking for your prayers for our family, the other family involved, and Josi's birth mother.

Carla, I am so very sorry that this has happened to your beautiful little daughter and the family she was with. Words cannot begin to describe how shocked I was when I heard of the tragedy. I am praying for strength for your family during this time and of course will also pray for everyone touched by this horrific event.
