Aniya,
I sat on my back porch yesterday! And I thought of you. I was cleaning my back porch off and I found you graduation card and a check made out to you. I thought of you, and how I lucky I was to behold your beauty.(of your spirit) I immediately prayed for your mom for grace, for peace for healing. I pray that she knows God loves her and that you are with God. Continue to watch over them and be with them however you are allowed. On Friday it will be 4 years that you left this plane but we know that beautiful smile beseats you wherever you are. ♡
Love Ms. Jeanetta
