Yeah...I don't know if any legal action was taken against the EMS company or anything...never asked and never heard. But I always just admired her so much.
I just felt so foolish that I cried...I didn't want to make her upset...didn't seem to, but still. She was a brick, even at the funeral...I was a complete basketcase. I went over to Celeste's afterward (she was watching the jedis) and just sat on her couch and sobbed.
The whole situation goes back a long way...she couldn't conceive (red flag) and kept loosing her babies when she did. I was the FIRST person she told when she found out she was expecting again and had gone longer than any other time before. I was THRILLED because I was expecting Joshua at the same time.
Joshua was born in October and this little baby was born WAY premature in Dec. She had a lot of deficits...you can read her story here:

Just read the article. It sounds like she was a really neat kid. You can tell her Mom loved her a lot and is a strong enough person that she was able to keep the good memories without letting the tragedy blur them--good for her.
