To Trinese, Eric, & Sis. Payton & Family:
I AM SOOOOO SORRY to hear about your lost although I didn't know U (Trinese) Sis. Payton talked about the soon coming birth of your baby girl & I was excited for you just becuz I know the joys of having a baby expecially when you have waited for so long & have been through so much in trying to have a baby. I won't even begin to say I know how you feel I can only imagine. Justknow it is normal for you to feel so much pain & to think that you will never recover but know we serve a Mighty God who is the Healer of all our sorrow & although we never understand why he does what he does but know he did this for a reason. I am continually praying for you & your family. Please don't give up hope & let this discourage you from trying in the future for another because the gift of life is sucha beautiful thing. I am so sad in my spirit & I am constantly thinking of the mother of this child. Honey, I don't know you but I have seen you a few times I am Emoni's other Godmother & I want you to know I love you & God loves you too! PLease if there is anything I can do don't hesitate to ask (Sis.Payton) I love all you guys & my heart goes out to you! Be Strong!

To the family of this precious baby Erihana Payton. My heart is sadden to hear about the passing of this precious baby! May the Lord give you all strength in the time of bereavenet and pain. The Lord shall wipe away all tears from each and everyone of your eyes! My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you all. To Sis Sophia, My thoughts are with you and your husband and son at this time. So sorry to hear about the passing of your grandchild. To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. I know that words just can't take away the pain that you are experiencing at this present times. I am thinking about you. Wow! Very sad when a mother or a father has to buried their own child. My heart truly truly goes out to you all. To the mother, try to hang in there sweetie. I truly know without a shadow of doubt how you are feeling at this present time. But I come to encourage you this day, that JESUS will give you strength as time passes by. Just know that your baby is now a ANGEL IN HEAVEN. She is looking down at each and everyone of you. I've been there 13 years ago when I had to bury my first born son!!!! So I can truly relate to how this mother is feeling and the father and the whole family at that. Dear Jesus, please Lord, grant this family the peace and understanding that they need at this present time and time to come? Family just know that I love y'all and my heart goes out to y'all! Be blessed! I know Sis Sophia from us attending the same church in the past. Hang in there Sis Sophia. The Lord has y'all back!!!!!! Love ya.
