Shiloh Pepin, affectionately known to the public as Mermaid Girl, passed away at the age of 10.
Shiloh was born with a condition called sirenomelia. She was born with her legs fused together with no lower colon, genital organs and only one barely working kidney.
After her appearances on TLC and The Oprah Winfrey Show, she become a media darling. Her resilience and bravery captured the hearts of all who watched her.
We are all in mourning for this little soul. But we also take comfort in knowing that her suffering has ceased.
