Lucia had a fierce love for her extended family, and was a big-hearted child who easily connected with others. A few months ago, she stuffed all of her birthday and tooth fairy money into an envelope and asked her dad to send it to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, saying, “They need it more than I do,” her father posted on Facebook.
Milián said it was a blessing the family perished together.
“I truly believe God watched over them by not making them suffer without Lucia and Emma,” he said.
