A Message For My Sister To My Sister: Blood couldn’t make us any closer. Dentia you meant the world to me. Heaven has certainly gained another true worshipper. There’s not enough words that I could ever express to say “thank you”, for all that you’ve done for me and my children. As much as we are hurting, and as much as you’ll be missed, we dare not be selfish during this time. We understand that God needed you more and plucked you because you were ready.
