I'm sorry for the loss of a special person, I love her so much, when Mary Akers took care of her, sometimes I was there. I like to remember the good times we had, the walks we take, her holding my hand, her stroking my hair, she was a bundle of joy, Chica, you will be missed, but never forgotten, you are with Jesus now and he's taking care of you, I love you baby girl, R.I.P CHICA, There's no more suffering, no more pain, you made it to heaven, Lord, please be with this family, comfort them help them in their time of need. Can you imagine how happy she is, being with God, I hope that i haven't said anything to hurt anyone's feelings, I just spoke with my heart.
