Tommy, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Its hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a very special part of such a well-lived life. I will be an ear to listen, a hand to hold, a heart to share, a friend who cares. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything.

My son has been attending Raquelin's Bundle of Joy since he was a newborn (4 yrs now). It is hard for me to believe we will not being seeing Elisa's smiling face there anymore. She was always courteous and friendly. To lose someone so young and full of life is heart wrenching. You have my deepest sympathy and are in my thoughts & prayers. She was a wonderful young woman. Lamentations 3:22-26; 31-32 For the Lord does not abandon anyone forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion according to the greatness of his unfailing love."
