I just want all my family members to know that you are all in my heart and in my prayers. During this great loss to our family, my sister was always caring and kind to everyone she met, I was privilege to have had her in my life while we were growing up. I know that she is now with Heavenly Father seeing and writitng about the beauty she sees there. May the Lord give us comfort during this very hard time for all of us. David and Maria Blankenship
