I miss you, Bianca. I don't think there is ever a day where I don't think about your smile, your beautiful voice when you sing songs from musicals, or how I can feel your aura like rays of sunshine. You are the light to my own darkness and you will forever be the light. No matter far and no matter what could turn about over the years, I will never forget how you as a person changed my life and I am forever grateful that I got to meet you when I did because you gave my life meaning. Keep on singing in the angels chore love, jump in the field of pink flowers, continue being the guardian angel that I know you are, and I wish you peace and nothing but peace.

Rest in peace Bianca. I'm thinking of you again today. I wonder if there are swingsets in heaven. I think of you often and hope you are at peace. I never got the chance to know you but I know you had a pure heart who loved her mother and sister so much. They are fighting for you and for your justice. I will never forget the impact your story has made on my core. You are loved endlessly Bia.

We only talked a few times but when we did she was incredibly sincere, kind, and understanding. I wish she could have stayed longer so that our paths could have crossed again. It's weird to miss someone you fell out of touch with but I find myself in that position. Love and light, Bianca, rest easy knowing you were a good person and many love you.

Bianca was not only a good daughter and sister but she was a good friend. She was always there for People when they where in need. She was such a happy person and she never had anything negative to say about anyone. Even when they where really rude to her. Biancas death is really a tragedy. I can go on and on about how sad I am to not have Bianca In this earth with me anymore. Her family is in my prayers. I love you Bianca. REST IN PEACE ❤
