    Ashley, you can call the Red Cross in Atmore at 368-3643 and maybe they’ll have the information for you. I hope the community will open up their hearts and will make sure this family receives what they need. Losing a child just has to be the hardest challenge any parent can face. My prayers go out to this family. And also pray for all the emergency personnel, as we’re blessed with some wonderful caring individuals who put their lives on the line everyday.

    This is so sad. It breaks my heart to hear news like this. My prayers will be with this family. On the little girl that’s 5 yrs old does she wear a toddler size 5 shoe? I was checking it sounds kinda small for a 5 yr old.
