To the family and friends of Ebony, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Death is one of the most difficult situations to face. God knows your pain and he promises at 1 Corinthians 15:22, “For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.” May you rely on God’s promises to get you through this difficult period.
Nica and I still think of your beauty everyday. The world lost such a beautiful soul. My condolences to the whole family. I know God has received another angel and a very strong one!
