Dear DiMichaelangelo Family,
I have never met you, but I want you to know I pray for Milena, and your strength, courage, and faith.Even though I go to Watterson, I learned about your daughter through my neighbor who cheered with her DeSales. My heart truly breaks for you, and the unfairness of it all. The pain is unimaginable, and I'm so sorry. I know there isn't much comfort in words, but I believe God needed a irreplaceable,truly beautiful person in Heaven, and Milena exceeded the qualifications. Please know that you're always going to be in my prayers, and I hope you find comfort and peace of knowing Milena is with you in the years to come.

Annette and Laury,
I am only now just learning of your heartbreak. I am so sorry.

Although I am no stranger to loss and grief, I cannot begin to comprehend the vastness of your sorrow.

I do believe that heaven is real. And while it may be of little comfort (because what can bring comfort?), I know that Milena is in a great state of joy and serenity and today she is saying "happy mother's day to the best mom in the world!"

Watch for signs from her.

Know that you are not alone.

Much love,
Belinda Jones

Dear DiMichaelangelo family,
I used to do gymnastics back at Midwest with Milena and could not believe the news. I can remember her bubbly personality and crazy little buns on the side of her head like it was just yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys!
- if the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. buildings burn, people die, but love is forever. RIP Milena, gone but never forgotten.

DiMichaelangelo Family,
Although I did not know Milena personally, I could not help but want to reach out and share in my sadness and heartbreak. As both a DeSales and St. Paul alumni, I can speak for all when I say that this comminuty is a very special family, like none other I have ever been a part of. Lean on your family and faith during this time. We are all thinking about and praying for you. It is obvious to see the Milena touched so many lives with her short time in this earth, and she will continue to touch lives even in death. Mourn for her, and celebrate her, it is clear to see she was and is a shining light. Take solice in the fact that she is with her maker, and is now your personal angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

February 22, 2011

Dear Laury, Annette, Gian Carlo, Santino,and Armando,
My heart is broken for all of you. Melina was a beautiful child of God, and she brought much joy to all who knew her. As her 6th grade teacher, I remember our talks about nature and her hanging out with her brothers near a small creek.(Not sure where it was located?) When she shared her love for her brothers and of God's creations, she warmed my heart. (We shared this love.) Today, you laid her to rest. From here out you may find some of your most difficult days. Seek prayer, counsel, and friends to help you through the days to come. Know that each of you have many people to count on, who wish to help ease some of the pain. Allow us to help, even if all you need is someone with whom to talk. Much love to all of you. In deepest sympathy. Mrs. Liz Jones
God bless you Milena, for you have blessed us.
