  6. Dear Stephanie, I just recently learned of your heartbreaking loss. I remember so well how beautiful she was when you came to worship services at Ashwood UMC. Having lost an adult child myself I know how devastating it is and if I can be of any help to you, please let me know. Praying for you and your family.

I have a 23 year old daughter and I cannot even imagine what you are going through. I am praying that you will be comforted in the days and years to come. God bless you and your family.
