The chosen family knew right from the start, that this little baby would bring joy to their heart. Many said, O what a burden to bear , they just didnt know she was our blessing to share. She always knew how to love and to give, and she did such nice things each day she lived. She has been a blessing wherever she goes, the number of lives she has touched, no one knows.
