Apia, SAMOA — Baby Miracle was laid to rest at her family land at Matautu Falelatai yesterday.

Her funeral service was held at Catholic Church in Matautu Falelatai.

Baby Miracle’s father, Mikaele Nanai, spoke highly of his daughter’s battle when she was alive.

“The life of Baby Miracle was very hard,” he told the gathering.

“It was very hard and at times it hurts us as much as it hurts her."

“When she was born people say things to her things that no parent or child should ever have to listen to."

“People call her all sorts of names, names that nobody should be called they would compare her to things that did not define her."

“When Baby Miracle was born, she was with us for five months and she was taken in by Papalii Carol Ah Chong."

“Papalii took her in and cared for her for eight years."

“I thank Papalii and her family for looking after and caring for Baby Miracle I know she left peacefully and very happy knowing that she was loved by so many.”

Baby Miracle was 10 years old when she passed away.
