To the Reese and Bellanger Family:

Heavenly Father, the death of my friend Carla has filled my eyes with tears and my heart with sorrow. As children of God you want so much to say "Not my will, but Thine be done," but at times we find it difficult to do. We pray by Your Holy Spirit , to accept Your ways as always best.
Teach us not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from our eyes that we may be able to see through the mist, beyond death and grave, to the resurrection and life assured by the glorious victory of my Savior Jesus Christ. Every time I talked with Carla about a problem she would tell me "just pray". A few days before she went to the hospital those were her last words to me. I shall always remember her and do what she ask me to do "just pray".
That smile and those words of wisdom will truly be missed, but we do have the assurance that one day we will all see her again. Keep your hand in God's hand because Carla is out of the worries of this world.
May Your Holy Spirit preserve you in this faith until you reach the heavelny land.

We love you,
Ms. Evelyn and Pauline

I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you. I was blessed with the opportunity of knowing your mom and I know heaven just received one of the most special angels. You are a reflection of your mom in the way your treat people with respect and empathy. Not to mention the way you make everyone you come across feel loved. I am so sorry for your loss. We Love You. Raven, Amyri, and Armad.

I'm deeply sadden by this loss. Tee Carla was such a blessing in my life. She was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. I can hear her laughter in my ears now. Tee Carla may be absent from the body, but she is most defintely present with the Lord. To the Reese/Bellanger family, I'm praying that God comforts you all in this time of need.Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
