Missy and Iesha moved to Georgia and became a part of my family and my everyday routine. I truly feel that God blessed me with them both, and I am truly saddened by losing such a good friend. I ask and pray that God continues to strengthen Iesha and Josh and the rest of Missy's family. Love, Sasha and Remiya
