To Evalina & The Gratsy Family,

I'm so sorry I can't be there. I'm going to miss her so much. She will always be in my heart and remembered by me. She was my friend and my sister away from home. If you need me call me. I'm always here.
I hope you will all find comfort in knowing that her family meant the world to her and she loved you all very much.

To the Gratsy Family & Especially Evalina

I was so sorry to hear about your sudden loss. I know you loved your sister very much and she will be truly missed by all. Pam is heartbroken and talked of your sister's kindness all night.

Keep your head to the sky, she's watching you.
