Our hearts go out to you, my dear cousins, on this day, as you lay Dear Shai to eternal rest. She has made her destiny with God much too prematurely. It saddens us very much.

I was shocked and saddened for your loss of another child. My heart cried for you. An angel was taken so soon. She blessed you for 33 years and 10 months and now she is blessing someone else. I just want to give you a hug so badly and make your pains disappear. All we can do is now pray. I am praying for god to give you strength to deal with this tragedy. My heart has been in pain and I can only imagine what you would be going thru. I know god has a better plan for her. We do not understand but he does. I do know god is crying with you. He is your shoulder at this difficult time. She is soooo gorgeous. God bless you. I love you both very very much.
