I didn´t personally know Raeann and her family but I feel like I did because my granddaughter Damiana spoke highly of her and she to is heartbroken to loose a class mate I could never imagine what her family is going through to loose someone but a child is just not right but I guess god had plans for another angel to join him in heaven .My heart and eyes are filled with tears for everyone .I pray that god will guide you all in the days ahead and the years to come without this beautiful angel may she rest in the house of our lord .God bless her family and friends

I know that she is up there with my mom having the time of her life eating the weird butter and ham sandwiches my mom made for them. I miss them so much I´ve been hurting all week. I really don´t know what to do without them. I know that sometimes people say "I don´t know what I would do without you" but for me this is actually true because I really have no clue on what to do anymore. I am not ready for the funeral. I´ve been crying every night and day since I found out.

May God Bless this Sweet Baby Girl and ease the pain the family is going through. May you all feel her love around you. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I do not personally know this beautiful little girl and soul. But know of your story from our "Warrior Nation". As a mother of two boys in the school district, my heart breaks and feels for you. Nothing I can say will make you feel any better and saying sorry will do nothing to bring her back. However, I prayer that her memories slowly fill the void and bring you some kind of comfort from knowing her. You should never have to feel this much pain. God bless you and your family as you grieve and find a way to live without your precious angel. May she watch over you until the day you get to hold her in your arms again. (Hugs)

Although I didn´t know this precious child, I´m praying for her and her grieving family. I´m especially moved because my younger sister lost three of her four sons. What can you possibly say to cushion such a blow? No parent should have to bury their child. One can only say that they will pray for their precious child and for the family left behind. God bless all of you.

raeann.. my poor sweet baby girl I wish I had the perfect thing to say, but honestly I don´t even know where to start. When you were born me and you became best friends and since then you have been by my side for the past 10 years, we would go up the barn, take ice cream trips or just drive around and blast music and go look at the animals. You were such a beautiful young girl with an a heart and smile that brightened up the room. You may have left all of us way too soon but you will be in our hearts forever. Thank you for all the memories and the support rae. I will love and miss you forever.
