Tina, Gala and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, My sympathy is with each of you. She is now and has always been an angel. Since I heard that she was sick I’ve wanted to message her. I didn’t feel an urgency because I just knew she would be okay. It’s sometimes hard to understand His plan but we know He does. Hold on to your precious memories...those will be with you always. Love to all ❤️ Leta
