I came across your story in a search to find and connect with old childhood friends. I never imagined this would be your story. I still remember you as the little girl across the street that I used to play with, who loved Free Willy. I remember visiting you and watching The Land Before Time, and your big Great Dabe, Lucy, that always came to visit my dog. Those were the days! I hope you are happy and at peace. My condolences to your entire family. Rest in peace my friend.

I love how it is the strange memories we made together that have lasted the longest. I remember dancing to Spice girls, dressing up like we were queens of the world, and how we use to run around on all fours as if we were horses. I remember the bird that got stuck in your garage and how we got it out and I managed to get bitten as you laughed and laughed. I remember how you would sleep over only to wake up in the middle of the night crying for your mom, and how we would walk back to your house at two in the morning and declare we were sleeping there. Most of all i remeber the fights, the petty squables that seemed oh so important at the time, yet the next day one of us would break down and race to the other's house, begging for forgiveness just so that we could be friends again. You never know how much you miss memories like these until the person you made them with is gone...I miss you Bianca.

Dear Acosta family,
I wanted you to know that Bianca's horse Buster is being well cared for and truly loved. My 11 year old son and Buster have been together since January. I knew that Buster had lost "his girl", but I did not know anything else until several days ago. We were trying to find Buster's full name and I ended up on the Illinois Pinto website. I saw a picture of Bianca and Buster - what a beautiful pair!
If this message reaches you, I hope it does not cause pain. My son could never replace Bianca in Buster's heart, but he will love her horse enough for both of them. Now that I know your lovely daughter's name, I tell Buster each time I am with him -"Bianca loves you"!
You are in our prayers and thoughts.

To Heather and family,
I just learned about the tragic news today. I can only imagine how hard this has been for all of you. My heart goes out to all. I am so sorry to hear Bianca is gone. I can just picture her when we were neighbords, playing with Chris. Such a beautiful girl!. I really wish I had the words to comfort you, but I know there is nothing that can take the pain away. You will be in my prayers to that our Lord can heal your pain, and gives you the strenght you need to go on. I are so so sorry for your loss.

I hope you can hear me, I love you so much and always will. This will be the first Christmas without you in 16 years, how can I possibly get through without you?

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

The Acosta Family,
Please accept my deepest sympanthy for the loss of your daughter, Bianca. I know exactly how you are feeling, I too, lost my daughter, Taylor Jo Doherty, to suicide on March 8, 2007. Taylor took her life, just 10 days before her 15th birthday. I remember many offering their condolences for my loss and telling me "they can't imagine", I would tell them, "I don't want you to imagine." Unfortunately, now you and your friends can imagine and feel the unbearable pain. I wish I could say it gets eaiser, but that would be a lie. Just please take the comfort of your family and friends during the most difficult time of your life. The one and only thing that has gotten me through these past 21 months, is to know she is in a better place and no longer suffering. Please know that she is watching over all of you, and doesn't want your pain to be as great as her's was. She will come to you. I have had many sign's from Taylor, letting me know she is okay.
Your faimly and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.
