Dear Rucker Family,

Many people are praying for you. A'sha will be not be forgotton, even by those who never met her personally. She will live in your hearts and memories and even dreams forever. One day you will see her again in heaven. May the Lord comfort you and give you His peace that passes the understanding of this world. Remember what Joseph said, "Satan meant it for evil, but God meant it for good." Some young person or anyone may turn their life over to the Lord because of A'sha's death. We do not understand the ways of God. He promises to work out all things together for the good of those that love Him and are called according to His purposes." As your hearts are heavy and broken, look up and remember, we are only traveling through this world for a brief time, whether it is 17 years are 70. Eternity is forever and it is beautiful as long as we spend it with the Lord. Rest in knowing that A'sha is in a beautiful place of rest with Jesus. You can see her again one day. God be with you.
