Dear Elizabeth and Family,

I can only imagine how hard this is for you. My uncle sent me this when we lost Greg and Ashira and it helped.
Those we love are never really lost to us--
we feel them in so many special ways--
through those they always cared about,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us--
for everywhere their special love lives on.

May God bless and be with you, Adan, Pricilla, Isaiah and your family,
Melinda Fawbush

Dearest Elizabeth, Adan, Isaiah, Priscilla, and entire family,

Please know that my heart aches for your family. I know your mom was a wonderful mom because I see what a wonderful daughter she raised!!!
I would like to share one of my favorite scriptures with you. It was sent to me and I have found much comfort reading it. " So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal" 2 Corinthians 18: 4.
God Bless. Fondly, Cathy Bush

Liz & Helen,
May God give you the strength to overcome this. I remember talking to your mom, not too long ago (about a month or so) asking her how you guys were and as always she was very outgoing telling me you guys were good. So when I heard the news it was a shocker. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Your Friend Liz Salazar(De La Cruz) and family
