One set of angel wing was granted to Torilyn for a job well done. God has decided that she has completed every single task which was assigned to her. Keep your head up family and reminisce on the great times you were so blessed to share with her. We will continue to lift each of you up in prayer. We love you.

Not knowing how to start this because I'm still in disbelief! There are no words that can express my love for you and sisterly bond that we shared! You had my back just as I had yours and I trusted you with my life! We just made plans for us to be together in a few weeks,I just spoke to you,how could you be gone a few days later!? My heart hurts so bad because I wont see your big smile n loud voice anymore.I may not make it to kiss you one last time and see your face. I'm so glad that we always ended our calls with "I LOVE YOU!" If I known it was our last I would've said more. No words can express the pain I feel right now! But I can say,we shared love,memories and a bond that no one could ever take away! Your nieces will miss your visits that we all looked forward to cuz you brought the laughter to the house! I Love You with All My Heart and I pray that you are resting peacefully in God's hands! I will see you again,my lil big sister!
