Carolyn, my sincerest condolences to you, your kids and the family. God plucked a beautiful flower for his garden. Jada is singing in the heavenly choir. She's resting. It's good night; never goodbye. Weeping may endure for a night but remember joy is coming. Sister, you love and loved your children. Nobody but the Lord knows your sacrifices. But Carolyn, after you've done all you can-just stand. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help.
Love you, Stephanie ♥
