"God is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalms 34:18) My deepest condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. And I pray that the above words will comfort your hearts knowing that the Almighty God will sustain you through this difficult time.

You are all in our thoughts at this most painful of times. Adriana has passed through to continue her journey further along the road. It is a hard time for those that loved her so to be left behind but do not feel sorrow for her. She is now calm and at peace, reunited with those she had already lost, happy. May we be today as she was in life, loving, strong and proud. The bond of family and friends around you is strong so lean on each other as you celebrate Adriana today. Sending love for today and all the hard day’s ahead.
