Always In Our Hearts, Never To Be Forgotten

On Saturday afternoon we received a phone call that turned our world upside down. Our dear sweet friends lost their beautiful 15 year old daughter. She went to sleep and never woke up. She's part of the family that has 13 amazing children, 11 of them adopted from all over the world. They are very, very special friends of ours, not to mention that several of their children are also best friends of our children.

This sweet girl was a very good friend of Sabrina's and the laughter and friendship they shared will never be forgotten. She came to America from Ethiopia just over 2 years ago. The life she left behind in Africa was a life that no teenager in America could ever imagine. The things she saw, the things she experienced are things that no one her age should ever have to face.

She joined a family that loved her dearly. We will always remember her beautiful smile and quiet voice. She will be missed but never forgotten. She touched our lives in a way that we are better for knowing her.

We love you beautiful African Princess!

How very sad. My heart goes out to your friends and to your family too. I can't imagine losing a child and hope I'll never know the feeling. :(
