Posthumous Portraits

I wasn't sure where to put this. I hope this is appropriate.

Sadly a friend of mine's niece, age 8, was killed Wednesday when a bathroom wall in a public park collapsed on her as she filled her water gun.

She would like to have a portrait done of her to give her sister.

The only time I have ever done this was many years ago before I understood the need for good resource material. So, here I am, faced with this and not really sure how to proceed. They live in Nebraska, this will all take place via the internet.

How do I go about explaining what I need etc. and be sensitive at the same time? It may be a very obvious answer. Please tell me how to handle this and the best way to explain to them what to look for in an existing photograph/s. Thanks.
