My heart is heavy with the news of Petrina's passing. It feels so unfair that she was taken so young. Petrina was such a vibrant and kind person, and I will always cherish the memories I have of her as a close cousin. My deepest condolences go out to her daughters, granddaughter, and parents during this incredibly difficult time. I know no words can truly ease your pain, but please know that Sandy and I are thinking of you all and sending you our love and support. Petrina's light will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
