Violet:
I am so very sorry to hear of this tragedy. I just learned yesterday this was your daughter. Words seem so shallow at a time like this - for there are no words to address the pain you must be feeling. I pray for your continued healing...May The Lord keep you and your family in His care.

Love is stronger than death even though
it can't stop death from happening,
but no matter how hard death tries
it can't separate people from love.
It can't take away our memories either.
In the end, life is stronger than death.

My heartfelt prayers to all of the families.
