  Rest in heavenly peace India, you were only 1 grade behind me in school. I can't even begin to imagine the pain your family is feeling because of your loss. You look like a very kind and sweet person, very pretty and smart too. You're forever remembered angel India, stay strong up there always, watch over and take care of your mom, dad, and family. Rest easy my friend, never to be forgotten. xxxxxxxxx

  Angela, John, and family I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember when India was my "littlest" cheerleader. She always had a smile on her face. I pray that you all trust in God and he will help you to find the peace that you need. Thinking of you all.

  You can shed tears that she is gone
  or you can smile because she has lived.
  
  You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
  or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
  
  Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
  or you can be full of the love you shared.
  
  You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
  or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
  
  You can remember her and only that she's gone
  or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
  
  You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
  or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

  Her Journey's Just Begun
  
  Don't think of her as gone away her journey's just begun; Life holds so many facets this earth is only one.
  
  Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
  
  Think of how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
  
  And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched for nothing loved is ever lost... And she was loved so much.
  
  Angela & John you are forever in my prayers. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help.
  With Deepest Sympathy: Helen Harris-Ogburn

  Eventhough we don't know each other, my hear hurts because your heart hurts. Keep praying. Although you may not understand it now, just remember God never makes a mistake and wha ever He does, He does it for the best. Bind yourselves together as a family like great links of chains. You need each other more than ever now. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal. I love you and you will continuely be in my prayers.

  A Better Place
  
  She’s in a better place right now
  Than she’s ever been before;
  All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
  Nothing troubles her anymore.
  
  It’s we who feel the burden of
  Our sadness and our grief;.
  We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
  Before we get relief.
  
  We know we’ll reconnect with her
  At the end of each life’s road;
  We’ll see her cherished face again
  When we release our earthly load.
  
  Keeping The Family In Our Prayers...

  India was a precious young lady who is now in the Hands of God the Father. May you find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and with HIm and that you and all who knew India and loved her, will be continually lifted up in prayer through your heartache and the challenges that you face throughout the healing process. May the great comforter and healer Jesus Christ bring you peace, hope, strength, and endurance.
