Love,
Mona

    My dearest Mona, I can't imaging the pain of losing your lovely daughter.

    This isn't the way the world is supposed to work and there is no way to prepare for it, no way to ease the pain, no way to replace the daughter that is gone. I do promise you this, your beautiful daughter will always live on in the memories of those who loved her. Most of all the space that she claimed in your heart on the day she was born, will always belong to her! She will be with you always. Just close your eyes and remember all the precious days you had together.

    I hope you can feel all the warmth and affection coming your way from the huge hugs I am sending....

    Dear Mona, I'm crying with you - I really didn't think Sandy would be taken from you so soon. It is the very worst that can happen to a mother! As you say, no words are adequate enough. God must think you are a very special person to have so much to cope with in your life!

    My dear Mona- I have been away this week but I want you to know that my heart aches for you. It is bad enough to lose a parent or a sibling but I can't imagine the horror of losing my child. I am lifting your whole family up to the Lord even as I type this.
    The only "good" is that she is beyond all Earthly pain and suffering in a place of grandeur that we can only begin to imagine. Unfortunately, we wish they were here with us instead. A big hug for you this morning and lots of love....Diana

If you are as strong as I have grown to know you, you will be the strength your family needs. God must have needed an angel for a very special purpose and he chose Sandy.
