In 2013 when two young girls were fighting for their lives in a Northeast Florida hospital, John and Carolyn Burress met Olivia Blake and Fabiola Marmolejo.
A wall separated the two families, but they quickly learned their stories were similar.
The toddlers — Kylie Ann Burress and Noelani Marmolejo — each would have turned 5 years old this year, but they died in the hospital in 2013. Their families met again Tuesday night where they were shown paintings of the girls whose lives where cut short in separate homicides.
