Recently the little mermaid girl was seen on Oprah and I was so inspired by the story because of her courage. The interview process was so cute. Her personality was shining. Am sad this afternoon to read a news article that she had passed away. My sympathy to her family and many friends. Did anyone else see this interview with Oprah and if so, what did you think of this truly amazing, little girl?

She was one of the most positive people I had ever seen. I loved her laugh!!! I, too, was saddened to hear that she had passed!!!! The doctors had told her parents that she'd never live past 72 hours (3 days). They were blessed with a wonderful child for 10 years!!! Can you imagine the horrible things that were said & done to her in her short life??? She handled herself with style & grace. I don't know that I could have been that wise!!!

Hey carol, I had read an article and had seen a video of
this sweet little girl quite a few months ago on the Internet.
She was a very happy outgoing child. She was talking to her
Mom and was swimming in a pool with her instructor and saying
how she was glad that she was The Little Mermaid Girl. She seemed
very happy with her life. I know that the doctors never expected
her to live as long as she did, and I am truly sad that she
has passed away. My sympathies also go out to her family and
her friends. She was quite a miraculous little girl. May she
rest in peace. I know she will be missed by the many who knew
her and loved her.
