I would like to express my condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states "...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away". This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 - Death does not end it all. May Jehovah bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Crazy how although u still pop in my head and how greatful I am that I met my amazing sisters Carrie and Leslie your death still hasn’t eased my pain. I’m so thankful my step dad Jose (a real man) was there to raise me. I’m sorry for the hurt and pain that your death has caused my sisters but aside from that your death has caused me nothing but unanswered questions. I guess thanks for not raising me and my twin and thanks for giving me such an amazing step dad to raise me with love, loyalty, respect and dignity. Something you never have had, in my eyes! -your daughter
