“Tragedy struck today, and the feeling is not only overwhelming but there’s a sense of loss that cannot be explained”.
“There’s a void that cannot and will never be filled.
“I can only thank God for the eternal plan of salvation that has and will always be a comfort to me.
“Mate he ‘ofa atu mom and Victoria Grace. your smiling and loving face will be forever engrained in our hearts”.
