to Brittany and the family,
I wish I could lift the heaviness you're feeling and take away the pain your heart is going through, but know that God has taken His little angel for a reason. I will continue to uphold you and the family in prayer and ask God to be the peace in the midst of your sorrow.

with all our love,
Aunt Vera & family
