What a horrible, horrible tragedy, Kay. I am so very sorry for the loss of Nicole, as meaningless as those words are. Prayers for Mia, you, and all those that loved Nicole.

How horrible

What shocking, terrible news this is.

I can't imagine losing my best friend, especially at such a young age. What a terrible tragedy. I'm so sorry for your loss, for Mia's loss, and for Nicole's parents loss. I can't imagine how devistated you all must be.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Nicole and her family and friends will be in my prayers.

Oh, Kay, how horrible! It is so hard to understand why these things happen. Prayers will be going out for you, Mia and Nicole's family.

I was able to go visit Mia last night. My friends and I went and spent over $70 getting some diapers, baby wipes, nipples, socks, etc... necessities.

Her funeral is on Friday. I don't know how I am going to handle this. I've never been to a funeral. I never thought it'd be a funeral of someone my age, my best friend. I haven't cried much at all other than the day I found out, I'm completely numb. I cried when I woke up yesterday and once while I was talking to her family last night. I still think I'm going to be able to call her tomorrow and have a silly conversation with her like always.

We had a really nice, long visit with them. We shared stories of how we met Nicole and silly stuff we did in school together. I know Nicole would have been smiling and laughing along with us, maybe she was.

Her grandma is a complete mess. She watched Nicole die. She said she was laying in bed, which is within viewing of where grandma was, Nicole took a gasping breath and then she was gone, stiff as a board. She went into cardiac arrest and her body didn't have enough electrolytes to start back up.

Meanwhile, grandma was holding the baby and trying to call 911 with her cellphone that was cutting in and out because they barely get service in their house.

It really is tragic. She far to young to be taken, especially taken out like this. I really want to get a tattoo in her honor/memory. I don't want it to be a typical "in memory of" or "rest in peace" - I want something that meant a lot to most of us. This is what I've come up with...

Mia's footprint would be in the middle with this text around it...

Mia is the last big step in life that we shared and we both love that baby so much.

Here are a few more pictures for anyone that wants to see how beautiful she was. If only you all knew how amazing of a person she was, too.

She didn't like dogs, but she loved mine because she knew how much I loved them.

She was so excited about her baby girl...

She was a wonderful mother.

This still feels so unreal.
