To the Stenberg family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time of sorrow. She is with GOD now and she is pain free for eternity. She is your own personal ANGEL that you will always have looking out for you, just like she did here on earth. Just take one day at a time to heal it's not going to happen over nite, allow yourself to grieve. Your going to cry just by hearing her name, what she liked, by looking at pictures and remembering how alive she was. And there is going to be a time when you will smile just hearing her name, seeing her favorite things, food, and you close your eyes and see her and you have the biggest smile on your face, and that's when your heart <3 is finally healing, and don't feel bad because your not morning her anymore cause it's ok to live on and take her with you to the hapiness you are having. May she R.I.P :)
