I never knew Adre'anna, and her family, but kept up on all the news of this tragic senseless death. I have kids of my own, and I don't know if I could bear losing them... My heart goes out to you as Adre'anna's family. She was a very innocent and sweet little girl. She's in a better place, but I'm sure she will be very greatly missed..

I never had the pleasure of meeting Adre-Anna, but she did enjoy the company of my daughter. Adre-Anna will know be able to feel free and her soul and spirit will forever be in your presence, and just know because she not her physically, she is indeed not only in your hearts but she is also there as your guiding angel. And just know her love for you will never stop blooming.

We Must admit, we never had the chance to meet. All I know from a friend is that she was a special and bright little girl. To lose someone you love is hard enough, but to lose a child is the worst of fears, but our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

From LaRhea Gore, Nettie Davis and the rest of my family.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

It is difficult to find the words to express how my heart goes out to you and your family in this time of sorrow. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that your sweet little girl is with God and His angels! You will see her again one day! God Bless you!

Adre'Anna- I pray that your soul is at rest now. You were a lovely little girl and never should have had such a horrific thing happen to you. But now you are at peace. I bet God gave you the job of Guardian Angel.

Despite our sorrow today, We understand Solomon's words when he writes, "Children are an heritage of the Lord" (Ps. 127:3 kjv) Not just some children but all children. We will pray for God to comfort & Bless you all ways.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
