I know the unbearable pain you're feeling over the loss of your precious girl. She was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have her. I hope that eventually your memories of your beautiful girl will bring you some comfort and peace. She will always be in your heart.

In the meantime, lean on your DU family as much as you want. We are here for you.

With deepest sympathy,
MIButterfly
