Do know that my heart is filled with saddness. We all go way back growing up as childhood friends in Richardson Loop. My prayer is that God strengthen you in the days ahead to accept what he has allowed. In the midst of it all....God is still good to those who diligently seek him. And on that great day you shall see your sister again. But until then you must endure and keep the faith. God is a very present help in the time of trouble. From my heart to yours.....I LOVE YOU!!
