I so hope this ends the mystery. So tragic. It breaks my heart on many levels, and one of those is how many people would have loved to have adopted her into their lives.

Just wondering - How is Daughter Grace?

THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS, for your concern, encouragement and words of wisdom....I am grateful. Dad has been enrolled in the Meals on Wheels Program so at least he will have a hot meal each day. He is getting around well with crutches and not in much pain. I will be looking into some type of day service for Mom one day a week so I can have a day with just hubby and I to be able to get out of the house. Between us we have 7 children (and one grandchild) and were just finally getting to that wonderful point when we could start having some freedom now that Tiffany is the only one left at home (14)....now its like starting all over! Gracie came over last night with her adorable new little kitten Zeus that she brought up with her from Florida and visited for awhile. We do not bring up the boyfriend at all and she knows not to talk about him, so we got to enjoy our time with her. He had 7 months of her all to himself wherein he bad-mouthed us and convinced her that we are all "conspiring" against him, so it is apparent that even though she still loves us there is still some hesitation on her part. She started a new job today and is already talking about saving up to get "them" an apartment. I wonder how this can happen when it comes time for giving references....they have been evicted from so many places. My neighbor told us today that he knows that it was the boyfriend who stole $700 from their home last summer while they were away because he saw him the night before the theft late at night walking through their property. They also had seen him sitting in Grace's car many nights smoking pot after he would drop Grace off at work. He had plenty of time to steal and do drugs since he didn't work. It makes me ill knowing that in the 3 years she's been with him her life has gone nowhere and her future is in jeopardy every day she stays with him. I am posting some photos of "Amazing Grace", which is new to me this spring from Roses Unlimited, and chose to open its very first bloom on the day Grace came home. This is eerily similiar to the rose I grew from seed which opened its bloom the day Mom went into the nursing home....(my first rose from seed ever)....I guess my roses speak to me in mysterious ways! My roses have always comforted me during times of trouble and pain....they are friends I can visit anytime and they keep all my secrets. My thanks for you all here and for roses!!! Celeste Mom in the screenhouse today.... Grace's kitten Zeus..... "Amazing Grace"....this has the most heavenly fragrance you can imagine and is drop-dead gorgeous. The reverse is pale cream and the inner petals soft pink. This was the first flower and it opened the day Grace came home...... Bloom lightened in color as it aged and retained its delicious and strong fragrance..... Today it is opened up fully, exposing its stamens in a perfect circle.....I love, love, love this rose!!!

Thanks all y'all!! Sherry, they all look the same to me too when they are first born but she sure does look like a little girl for sure. Linda, we have had lots of cone heads and squished noses over the years...LOL! Allye was our first c-section baby..big difference for sure. Annie, she is a little sore but manage to do payroll today on her laptop...the joys of beinging self employed. Sharon, I can't believe it's been over a year since y'all were here...we still talk about that night too. The car and your cool canadian accent! Allye had a little challenge with eating at first but as of today she has joined her family with being a foodie and is taking her bottles with no challenges at all. Looks like they will be headed home tomorrow as it stands now. I'm not even going to tell y'all how old I'll be when she graduates high school. Yikes! LOL! Thanks again my friends!! David

The toilet thread was the first thread I did..I think. Instead of getting helpful opinions which I welcomed openly, all I got was how nasty it is to decorate around the toilet,then the whole thread turned into a joke, at my expense. Now that is where you are wrong oakley. I didn't see anything that happened in that thread being directed at you. This reminds me of my daughter when she was in high school. She was always so sure that everyone was looking at her, and judging her (typical teenage angst). I told her that everyone else was too busy worrying about what other people thought of them and not to worry about it. Really and truly I don't believe that people here dislikes you or is waiting to pounce on you. We all say or do things on occasion that aren't exactly what we intended, and it is especially difficult to interpret the written word as the the writer intended. That's why smilies where invented! ;)

Nancy Grace should get over Casey Anthony
Q

She is always saying that "Tot Mom" is wanting millions to be interviewed, just how does she know this???? She has never spoken to her. I don't know how some of these talk show hosts get away with telling such stories and the sad part is people believe them to be telling the truth. Nancy is always screaming about what a liar Casey is, but she is telling lies nightly on her show.

The likeness they made was just amazing - it looks extraordinarily like the little girl. I'm so happy the mother and her boyfriend were found; now I hope they never see the light of day again!

I am so glad that we have DNA IDs now!

The mother must have thought she was so clever to come up with a story about the Ohio Social services!

Monsters!

Monsters do exist!

The Step Father held her under water while spanking her, then grabbed her by the hair and threw her against the wall.

I have a 2 year old Granddaughter, who shares the same B'day as this Murdered Angel. I can't imagine anything a 2 year old could do that would require a spanking, let alone the torture she endured.

Such a precious little girl. My heart aches for her. But, she doesn't have to endure this insanity anymore....She is resting in peace.

My prayers to the Father and Grandmother who have been looking for her for months.

This breaks my heart. I hope they rot in prison for the rest of their lives. The death penalty would be too good for them.

oh the insanity continues...a nine day old baby was MOLESTED, and died from the rectal bleeding....as far as the police here are concerned, the whole family is considered guilty...

I wish Baby Grace's daddy could have 5 minutes alone with the monster that killed her. I, too, hope that the mom and her new husband rot in prison.

Hope they put the both of them in the general population in prison. They would then suffer immensely.

They had grandparents on today show today grandma taking it pretty bad.
What could a cute little girl do to deserve that.?
But you know the way my father beat me and 4 others I wondered thats how murder happens.
grammahony

(((Dink))). My dad was beat so hard as an infant, by his father, that it bruised the bone in his hip. Causing an infection in the bone. Osteomyelitis. They had to do surgery, and he had to learn to walk all over again, at 18 months. He did this by pushing his twin baby sisters in their baby stroller.
Had he been hit in the head, I'm sure it would have killed him.
Monsters, all of them. Some of them are just perverts and demented. I'm with perdita on this. Let the general prison population have them.

I hadn't heard about this story until now. I am beyond, I dont even know the word, over this. I honestly cant understand how any mother could kill her own child. I guess now that I have a child of my own, it hits me even harder. I really can't comprehend this level of evil.

Hearing how that little girl died made me literally sick to my stomach. I hope the remaining family can have some sort of closure to this knowing she's been found and can somehow start a healing process, although I have no idea how.

This angers me. Really angers me, and breaks my heart.
