and your presence is felt in the quiet moments when we miss you most.
“You have no idea how tough it’s been, trying to stay strong for each other even as the world around us seems fallen apart. The grief remains heavy, the absence left a void that words can never fill, but through it all, we look up for strength from heaven as a guiding light.

“To our beloved, you did not only leave us, your family, but so many who loved you and loved your works. It is so difficult and unbelievable to
say these words but still, continue to rest in the bossom of the Almighty. You will always be in our hearts and our thoughts and your memories and legacy will live on forever.
“Though you’re no longer by our side, you live on in every memory, every smile and every tear. We shall carry you with us always until we meet again. We cannot question God right? May Your Soul Rest In Perfect Peace My Love.”
