Strong Prayers for Peace and comfort to the family and friends on the loss of your loved one...

Diamond was such a great young lady. She would tell me all the time "BaBa, I'm going to marry your son 1 day". Of course she was playing BC my child is but 9 now, but that's just the relationship we had. I would pick with her all the time but she's knew if she ever came to me I would be there with open arms and with an open heart. Its so hard to believe I won't ever see her again. Its true, the good die young. I'm so sorry for what Tasha and her family is going through right now. Its never easy to lose a loves one and I don't know how it feels to lose a child. I hope that they get peace knowing just what a wonderful person she really was. Again, I'm so sorry....
