Aya, I’m still saddened by the loss of your life, the new things I have experienced in my life this year and how I cannot share them with you. How we cannot break bread together nor shoot the breeze like we did. The void in my heart is still big to this day, I love you. May you please be at peace.

Aya - I remember when you were a young child and your Mom would take you with her to the grocery store. Often, the other Mom's would stop your Mom and ask her; "Is that your child? You have such a beautiful child!"

Aya, today marks one-year since you crossed that Raindbow bridge. I miss you terribly and often go back and look at the many photos of your life growing up. I will forever cherish the time we had together, and am blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of your life and watch you grow, from a child to an adult over the years. I will honor your memory every day, until we meet again. Always in my Heart.

Words cannot describe this loss to this world. You will always be my family, until we meet again my best friend. I love you

you will always be remembered. until we meet again aya. love rae
