My little sister. I wish my words had more meaning and my love for you and Martin could perform miracles. You're love for each other gave inspiration to many. And through YOU Martin will live on forever. Love always wins and stands the tests of time. Be strong my love for you have many years of happiness ahead of you. And as cheesy as these next lines are I'm going to say them anyway. "your heart will go on" and you will make many people happy. You are my rock and you've given me a foundation. I wish I could have protected you from this and I could wear your pain. He'll always watch over you. You carry him in your heart.
I love you my D'anna. I'm so thankful to have a sister like you. I will give you all that I'm capable of. Please read this and know this came from my heart....I'm never very good at describing my feelings but I hope you understand that my heart is broken for two very important people in my life. Its hard for me to express to you how much all of it meant to me.
YOUR BIG SIS ALWAYS!
D'ette
I just left your house--but felt compelled to write you something too.
I guess I just wish so badly to be able to say something so profound that suddenly you wouldn't feel any pain. I guess I just wish that I could vacuum the hurt you're feeling away from you and make you all better. I guess I just wish that I could take from you any sadness or any tears that you shed....but I guess I can't do any of those things. The only thing I know how to do is let you know that I care, that I'm here, that my heart is aching because yours is, and that I am just a phone call or an e-mail away. I don't know what else I can offer besides friendship and love, but know that those are offered unconditionally to you. What an honor to have known you, and what a priviledge that I have been blessed by your rays of sunshine. What a gift you are.
With my utmost sincerity, heartfelt sympathy and warm wishes,
Samantha Talmadge
D'Anna,
My husband and I are so sorry for your loss, and pray for your healing. The following is a prayer from a book entitled, "When I'm On My Knees" by Anita C. Donihue. Since my words are lacking, I hope her words will somehow help...even a little.
God Bless,
Laura LaCour Johnson & Kevin Johnson.
SINGING IN THE STORMS
The storms of life surround me, but I will not be tossed to and fro. I am anchored in Your steadfast love. A song of praise wells up from my heart. I will sing praise and glory to Your name, while You carry me through this, another storm. You alone know the answers and the outcome. I take comfort in Your mighty presence.
I turn into the wind, unafraid, ready to face each day head on, flanked with Your power and wisdom. In the peak of the storm, when I feel I can hold on no longer, I will call on Your name for peace. I will trust in You and will not feel afraid, as I nestle into Your protecting hands.
How is it that You have such mighty power, that the tempests in my life cease their crashing winds at Your command? How is it that You can calm my raging seas of circumstances and emotions and bring my life into Your control with Your powerful, yet hushed voice?
Even now, I hear Your whisper, "Peace, be still. Know I am Your God."
When the storm subsides, my song of praise for You will echo throughout the ages from generation to generation, telling of Your might works and deeds.
Thank You, dear Lord, for Your help and peace.
Amen

My heart is broken for you two. For D'anna because I can't even imagine the hurt and pain you are feeling, and for D'ette because you are such an awesome sister and I know how much you hurt when D'anna does. You two, as well as the rest of the family, will make it through this because of the amazing love you all have for each other. And just like D'ette said, D'anna "your heart will go on". You have a beautiful one! And so does Martin. And his will stay with you forever. I love you two like you are my own sisters. You both inspire me so much. Keep your strength and your faith in God. God Bless you guys! Wish I was there. Miss you guys!
