My deepest sympathy to Nora and Van . I can say thru experience I know how you're feeling. December, I lost my one and only son(Rico). He had pneumonia. We can't question the Lord's work. So, be strong. Our kids sometime don't get to bury their parents. The Lord is in comand

We met when we were just 11 yrs old. Graduated from Holy Ghost Catholic School together. Fast forward...We shared our 12 yr old Princess, Autumn Justine Foster. She is every bit of you....her walk, her laugh, her stance, her facial expressions, her broad shoulders, and her long dreadlocks.

It is so unfair Autumn will grow up without you. Thank You for our most greatest gift and may your spirit live and move within her.

REST PEACEFULLY VAN♥
