To the family of Empress Knox. I am so sorry about the loss of your loved one. I've been knowing Empress since she was 14, she encouraged me while we were both pregnant with our oldest children. I watched her grow into a diva, because that is who she was even before the word was ever used by many. She will truly be missed. I've been praying for her for over three years and now I pray for each one of you to have strength to endure this hardship. God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours and we don't understand everything he does or how how he performs it, but I do know according to Proverbs 3:5/6 that If we trust in Him with all of our heart and lean not unto our own understanding, if in everything we do we talk to Him about it and wait to get a response from Him then yes He will guide us and direct us...TRUST HIM. And don't forget He is a very present help in the time of trouble. God bless each of you.
