On
March 30, 2005 my daughter (Kasci) got home from work around
11:30. Kasci sat down to unwind from her nights work
as security guard at Tyson in Norfolk, Nebraska and talk with
her boyfriend / babysitter.
She then went to tell kiss her daughter (Mariah), goodnight
like she did every night, only to find her cold lifeless body
laying in the crib. She picked Mariah up and while running
down the stairs, yelling for her boyfriend to call 911.
When Kasci got down in the light, she noticed Mariah's face
was covered in bruises, her boyfriend said Mariah had fallen
down the stairs.
The rescue department worked on Mariah on the way to the hospital
where she was pronounced dead. The Sheriff's Department
was called to the house to investigate.
Seeing that beautiful little angel laying on that bed, face
covered in bruises (one big handprint on the left side of
her beautiful face) will be a vision I will never forget.
Mariah was only 20 months old.
Telling Kasci Mariah was gone was harder than when I had to
tell my kids that their biological dad had passed away.
Mariah died from her mother's boyfriend hitting her in
the face. The person who caused her death is currently being
held in jail and we attend every court session he has.
May
our precious Angel rest in peace.
