From Viewpoints

We are so sorry about what happened to you and your father.

This world can be a crazy place and so unfair to good people.

It’s so sad to see such a pretty girl hurt by such an ugly world.

We hope that your family is able to grow, progress and forever be comforted by your spirit.

We could only imagine the rage and devastation from such a tragic event.

The loss of a precious young child is a reminder of  just how senseless and cruel gang violence is.

No child should ever be subjected to such terror  and no child should have to experience harm or death at the hands of an adult.

No parent should have to bury his or her own child.

The world is supposed to protect and nurture children not hurt them.

Your death is so unfair and our deepest condolences go out to the family affected by this horrific crime.

The most beautiful people die so young and so innocent.

May you rest in paradise.
