Dear Essien Family,
I cannot express how deeply sorry I am for the unimaginable loss of your beloved daughter, EarlGiver Essien. Loosing a child is a pain no parent should ever endure!! Though her time with you was far too short, I know she brought immense joy and light into the world. Her vibrant spirit and loving heart will continue to inspire those who had the privilege to know her.
In these times of sorrow, may you find strength in knowing the Lord and comfort in knowing that you will one day be together again for eternity. I know she brought so much joy and love into your lives, and the beautiful memories you shared will always be a part of you.
Her legacy of love and kindness will continue to shine through you, I know you will always hold on to the moments that made you smile and the lessons she taught you
I pray that you are surrounded by love and support during this difficult journey.
With love and deepest condolences,
Carita Goolsby

May the family and friends of Ms. Essien be comforted by God and each other during this tragic period. Too young to leave this world by a long shot, God must have had a need for her spirit, that perhaps we are not meant to understand yet. Please pray for the young lady's soul and please lean on each other if necessary. May she wait to greet you all in Heaven.

" Let the little children come to me , and do not hinder them , for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these . " ( Matthew 2:18 )
To the Essian family : On behalf of myself and my husband Dennis and our church ( St Agnes Catholic Community ) , please accept our deepest sympathy for the tragic loss of your dear sweet baby girl Giver . A girl with that name will surely sit with Jesus at the right hand of our Heavenly Father. May Giver´s Guardian Angel , the Holy Trinity , and Mary ,Queen of Heaven all hold you and comfort you and guide you during this time of sorrow and confusion and sadness . And may St Joseph and St Anne and all the angels and saints transform your grief and tears into hope and peace .
