"It's just hard for me to process, the fact that this young man did this to her," Hazel Wilson, the baby's grandmother said Thursday. "I think that's a part of the whole mental thing for me right now -- trying to accept first of all that my baby is gone and then that the guy that I called one of my kids is responsible for it. It's just a lot to happen all at one time. It's a lot to process."
A preliminary hearing for Anthony Ford is scheduled for November 8th.
The family still plans to celebrate Brailynn's first birthday, believing she'll be there in spirit.
