Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Godspeed.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your dear love one. “And no resident will say: I am sick…” Isa 33:24. This is a promise God has made known in his word. Perhaps one day in the in the divine future you or I may see again those fallen from our lives due to a sickness or illness that led to an untimely death.

My condolences to your family during this time of grief.

I found my way to you through the ever evolving social network via the internet. Albeit, too late to tell you how proud I was of your accomplishments as an adult. I used to baby sit you and Kirky when I was in college. I am deeply saddened by your transition and my sincerest condolences go out to Mary, Kirk and the rest of your family.
