But that’s just how it was, and it didn’t bother us one bit. I think I remember quite a few times when I may have been smacked away if daddy was giving me too much attention. Mommy and daddy couldn’t get away with a simple kiss without her breaking us up. I often dream of her growing up and what she may be like, her smile, her voice, her personality, if she would be anything like her mom. Beautiful and intelligent, stubborn and persistent, kind and caring. She had them two wrapped around her finger as well. And when she would make messes, I hate to admit it, but her two older brothers would get the blame for one reason or another. She got everything, within reason, she wanted. Her daddy spoiled her, the way any proud daddy would spoil their beautiful daughter. She had him so wrapped around her tiny finger, there was no denying it. She was a daddy’s girl, that’s for sure, his “princess”. We all worshiped the ground she walked on.

She was so beautiful, so full of life, and just so happy. She was such a blessing to everyone that day. It was such a difficult day for us all, but you couldn’t help but smile at her as you wipe the tears from your eyes. I fondly remember her at my father’s funeral running around giggling, passing out candy to all the guests. She could brighten any dark room with her presence. She is the girl with a contagious smile, her laugh music to the ears. River was and still is the most beautiful girl in the world. No parent should have to bury their child. It’s the hardest and most painful thing we’ve ever been through. What we would do to be able to hold our baby girl again. We would do ANYTHING to be able to go back and change what happened that day, but we can’t. Because it CAN happen, and to good, loving parents and their precious children. We were one of those parents who have said at least once “This will never happen to us.” That’s the worst thing any parent could say. I think our family, among so many others, is proof of that. If we had known and had been educated and made aware of these dangers maybe she would still be here today. Either way, she lost her life this tragic day and it could have been prevented. Our family, on the other hand, strongly believe she was able to escape from our home and was able to get back in to the van on her own based on other events that happened that day leading to her disappearance and then ultimately having been found unresponsive.
After the investigation was complete the police officials made a statement indicating that she was unintentionally forgotten by her daddy with all the chaos of getting four other children out of our van along with some food. The details on how she got there still remain unclear. Our beautiful daughter, River Lyn Nicole, lost her life being trapped inside our family van parked in our driveway on August 31st, 2014, the hottest day of that month with temperatures in the lower 90s.
