Still so much disbelief. I never thought the pain would be so unbearable. You will always be missed but most of all loved. To my best friend, my confidant the women whom raised me as her own thank you for loving me unconditionally. You were truly my biggest blessing in disguise. Love you always Tia Sandra.

With love,

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to the family . It's in times like these when the loving promises of our Heavenly Father, like that of seeing your dear loved ones again, can bring you comfort and can even soften some of the pain that you are feeling deep in your hearts.-1st Thessalonians 4:13,14.
