Speaking of her lost child, she said: "When I am with my kids, I can look outside, I still see it, I remember it, it hurts, but at the same time, we know that God has a bigger plan and he brought us through that, and that little baby we planted that tree for is with him"

"There’s comfort in that. It hurts, but it helps with the healing," she added.
