Eric, you already know that we are so sorry for your and Sophia's loss. You both, and the rest that are hurting during this devastating time, are in our prayers and weigh heavy in our hearts and minds. Kristen was always so kind and truly a pleasure to be around. I feel that Sophia has inherited that beautiful trait from her mother, that loved and cared for her daughter so very much. You are fortunate to have a kind hearted angel here on earth with you, and also one in heaven. We love y'all.

I am sorry for your loss. Death is always a painful event for us all. However Jehovah offers us comfort in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8. I always find this scripture to be of encouragement. Jehovah promises to do away with death and all things that bring us pain. How satisfying that will be. May joyful memories fill your minds and hearts through this difficult time.

- Roosevelt G., Savannah, Ga
