Please forgive me contacting you like this but as someone who knows the surviving Chantelle and Louise (nee Beckford) I feel obliged to thank you for the tribute that you have posted on the Gone Too Soon web site for their sister Jasmine.  Please also forgive the attempt I have made to remain anonymous as I'm sure you understand that I have done this to protect the girls.  They are the remaining light in the story of Jasmine and, when I saw them both yesterday, they are both very well, struggling with life's challenges as they are thrown at them but happy none the less.  They, thankfully, were well cared for and LOVED throughout their childhood, after their tragic start in life, and continue to be in their adult lives.  Chantelle is in Health Care and Louise is a Housewife.  They have children of their own, all of whom are loved dearly by all who know them.  It horrifies me that tragedies such as that which they have known still occur but it down to us to be as dilligent as possible in a bid to keep such things from happening.  I, as a friend of the girls will remember Jasmine this Christmas but will look on the girls and give thanks for their safety.  Thank you, Sarah, a friend.
