HOUSTON — The family of Maleah Davis, the Houston 4-year-old who was allegedly killed by her stepfather last month, is preparing to lay the little girl to rest in a special casket at a private funeral this weekend.
Her father, Craig Davis, shared a photo of the “My Little Pony”-themed coffin on social media Wednesday.
It was built and donated to the family by SoulShine Industries, according to KTRK-TV.
The rainbow-colored casket with characters from the long-running animated show features the little girl riding a blue pony with her name above in pink block letters.
