To the family of Ms. Willean, on behalf of our family we would like to extend our condolences and let this serve as a reminder to let you know that “we were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, 'Blessed are they that mourn,' for they shall be comforted. Of course it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.” But hold to God's unchanging hand and I promise you that he won't let you down because weeping may endure for a night but joy oh that unspeakable joy trust me when I tell you it will come in the morning. God Bless each and every one of you is our heartfelt and sincere prayer. We love you in the name of the Lord.
