Shiloh Pepin, girl born with rare condition called 'mermaid syndrome,' dies in Maine at age 10

My heart goes out to Shiloh's parents. I watched their story on television and fell in love with the personality of their brave little girl. She was a "ONE IN A MILLION"!! There is nothing I can write that will ease their sorrow but I know every day they had her in their life must have been a blessing based upon the initial predictions that they received 10 years ago!! God Bless you for taking such good care of your little Angel before she was called back to Heaven!!

This little girl was an inspiration to so many. Her story on television was a reminder that there are many of us who need to learn how to live.

Thank you, Shiloh. Thoughts and prayers to her family and many friends.

Your courage will forever live in our hearts Shiloh. May you rest in peace.

The news of Shiloh's passing has hit me hard. I cannot stop crying! I followed her story from years ago and most recently on Oprah. She was such a strong, sweet little girl. I adored her outlook on life and the matter-of-fact way she dealt with her physical appearance. We all should take a lesson from dear little Shiloh. I pray that her dear parents can find comfort in the fact that so many people loved Shiloh without even personally knowing her. It is because of them that Shiloh had the wonderful outlook that she had. God bless you for sharing your daughter with us. Shiloh lived only ten short years but she taught me a lesson of a lifetime. I wish I could find a local newspaper in Kennebunkport, ME to know what arrangements have been made so that I might send flowers to her service. I think of Shiloh now as a flower in God's garden. God bless you.

I saw Shiloh on Oprah some weeks ago.
And, I was very impressed with that lovely little girl.
In fact, she taught us how to enjoy and love our lives.
We will miss you, Shiloh.
God bless you and your family.

Shiloh was one of the most amazing people I have ever heard about. She had more courage than anyone. She loved her life and took ever obstacle with a smile on her face. Shiloh is truly an inspiration. I hope you rest in peace sweetheart, I'm sure you are having fun with your angle wings and flying around like a beautiful butterfly.

Leslie and Elmer, thank you both SO MUCH for sharing your wonderful daughter with the world. I think everyone who hears about her and her story is so touched and falls in love with her. You both raised a wonderful young lady and she will never be forgotten. Stay strong, and god bless your family.
RIP beautiful Shiloh <3
