Renee' & Jaime,
Despite the differences that people may have in the world still does not take away the love and friendship that was there. I am greatly sorry for your loss and will be number one in my prayer book. I loved India as a sister and when we lost contact over the years I still thought of her....My best Friend. I pray that you both stay strong through this storm...India will be missed greatly.

As a teacher we often lose track of our students as they grow and go on in life. I am blessed to have had such a fine child in my classes at middle school. She left too soon but we were all touched by her grace.

Jaime, there are no words that could take away the sorrow of losing a love one, specially a child. Trust in God so he can give you the strength to accept the things you cannot change and wisdom to take care of the family that still needs you. Remember that India's departure is only temporary so she is not gone forever. We will all reunite again when the time comes. You are our brother in arms and we hurt when you hurt.

Jaime and Renee, what can be said to console such grief? You are both in my prayers, may God help you through this terrible tragedy.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of India Escobar. I knew her quite well some years ago. Though I have not been able to stay in touch with her, she has remained in thoughts and in my heart. She will remain there forever. A young girl filled with all the promise of a brighter world.

I wish only the greatest joy for her transcendent soul.
