I am very sorry. I tried cpr but it was too late. I didn’t know her but I am very sorry for your loss. I have asked my grandfather to watch over her. With all my sympathy, DAVE.
I’m very sorry about the loss of our relative (My Niece). My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this trying time.
My thoughts & prayers are with all the family members of Kirsteena and son.
Jeanie,
I was greatly saddened to hear about Takoja Krissy. You are in my
prayers and thoughts.
Though she lived a short time upon this earth, it sounds like she has touched alot of lives and
cheered people up. I will always
remember as a little girl, I did
tell Galen that she has gone home to the Lord. I truly believe he hears and knows what is going on
around him.
Love and hugs,
Wini
