While there is nothing that I can say to help you ease your sorrow,
take comfort in the knowledge that there will always be tomorrow.

I can not comprehend just how sad you must be feeling,
the pain within your heart takes time to start the healing.

Let the memories of the years you’ve shared wash over your heart and soul, let the knowledge that you are in our prayers, help you to console.

Let her spirit fill you with strength and love may it help the pain decrease, as each day that brings a glorious dawn creates an inner peace.

With my most Sincere and Deepest Condolences for your loss.

You will me missed..
Nancy R.

Take comfort in kmowing that God will abide
To strengthen and keep you, he's right by your side
As she trandscends this life, a new life will begin
And the angels of heaven will welcome her in
Though we will no more see her beautiful face
In the depths of our hearts she holds a special place
Though our hearts are sad that she has gone away
She's a beautiful flower in God's spiritual bouquet

Peace and Luv!!!

To Monique and Family

I send my prayers and condolences to you and your family.

I didnt really know Shamaia but for a brief time, when we all worked together at Burlington Coat Factory.
It touched my heart to find out That a young and beautiful person gone at such a young age.
I always remember you coming over to me and asking how she was doing. And me and you laughing in the aisles. Your love for your sister was so strong that everyone new it.
I am just in shock and dont know what to say but Monique keep your head up and Its not going to be easy but you can only take it day by day.

I look back and will always remember her smile and her big eyes. She was such a nice person and She will always be remembered but never forgotten.

ToMonique and the rest of the family stay up.
Love Zayah
