  1. First of all her name is not Lily Hernandez it’s Eliana Costello and the hurtful part about the whole situation she’s not even on her daughter’s birth certificate her real name obviously there was wrong doings and the worst part about it is nobody can see all our messages on messenger so that way they can pinpoint down to the nitty-gritty about what really happened.. with much love and respect, I love you and I miss you always & forever love Mom

    1. I recently lost my son too. My first born, I’m still in disbelief and my heart goes out to you. May god bless you with strength during this difficult time.
