MY NAME IS KRISTYANNA ROSE COWAN. I WAS BORN NOVEMBER 3, 1999 AND I DIED JANUARY 22, 2003. I WAS LAID TO REST FEBRUARY 14, 2003 IN MY HOMETOWN BEAUMONT, CALIFORNIA. MY HALF SISTER BRITTNEY AND I WERE LEFT HOME ALONE AT TWO AM WHILE OUR MOTHER AND HER BOYFRIEND WENT TO A CASINO. PREVIOUSLY THAT SAME DAY MY MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND MADE A FALSE DRUG DEAL. THE GUY GOT MAD AND CAME BACK TO OUR HOUSE WERE BRITTNEY AND I WERE. HE ATTACKED US WITH BUTCHER KNIVES. BRITTNEY TIRED TO SAVE ME AND HE SEVERED HER SPINAL CORD. BRITTNEY SURVIVED ALTHOUGH SHE IS PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. I DIED IN SURGERY THAT SAME MORNING. MY FATHER DAVID COWAN WON CUSTODY OF MY BODY AND BURIED ME IN MY HOMETOWN. MY MOTHER IS CURRENTLY SURVING A SENTENCE OF FOUR YEARS FOR CHILD INDANGERMENT AND NEGLATION WHILE HER BOYFRIEND SERVES TWO YEARS FOR DRUG DEALING. OUR ATTACKER WAS SENTENCED TO THE DEATH PENALTY AND ANOTHER GIRL INVOLVED WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITH POSSIBLE PARROL IN 40 YEARS. I WAS A FORMER CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE (CPS) CASE WHERE MY AUNT DARLA COWAN RECIEVED CUSTODY OF ME. MY MOTHER WAS THEN REWARDED CUSTODY OF ME AND MOVED ME AND MY SISTER TO NEVEDA, WHERE I WAS ATTACKED. I HAD A VERY SHORT LIFE, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME AND STILL SUPPORT ME. MY PURPOSE IN LIFE WAS TO SUPPORT CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS AND DRUG AWARENESS. IN MY BIOPSEY THE DOCTORS FOUND I HAD NOT EATEN OR DRINKEN IN 48 HOURS. MY FUNERAL WAS HELD IN BEAUMONT, CALIFORNIA. IT WAS AN OPEN CASKET FUNERAL. MY DADDY PICKED ME OUT THE PRETTIES CASKET A PRINCESS WOULD WANT. IT WAS IVORY STONE WITH GOLD ANGELS. I NOW REST IN PEACE WITH MY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. I AM IN HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN ON MY FAMILY.
