My Thanksgiving Prayer  / Roxana Thompson (Mom)
I thank all of you that have been there for me since Adriana passed away. Thank you for giving me the strength and courage to get through each day. Close

Comfort from the Bible  / Alisha Washington (no relation )
Hello my name is Alisha Washington. I saw that you have suffered a lost in the family and I wanted to share my condolences. There are scriptures in the bible that will bring you comfort during this trying time two of those scriptures are found at John 5:2829 which reads "Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out those who did good things to a resurrection of life those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” And the other at Rev. 21:45 states "[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’ And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also he says: ‘Write because these words are faithful and true.’”

It is our privilege as Jehovah's Witnesses to share in a work that is being done by volunteers in upward of 200 lands. In all these lands people are being invited to benefit from a program that helps people learn the Bible’s answers to such important questions as: Why do we sometimes suffer and die? What is the purpose of life? How can you find real happiness?

We engage in this activity because we are genuinely interested in our neighbors. Our work is not commercial. It is our hope that those two scriptures console you and that someday soon we will be able to talk to you personally. Please feel free to get in touch with us at www.watchtower.org or at my personal e-mail a7sise_jw@hotmail.com


Sincerely
Alisha Washington

A friend forever  / Tana Dominguez (Friend)
A friend forever is truly a blessing to have. I can not count how many times i laughed and  cried with adriana but i do know that every moment we had together was treasured and will never ever be forgotten. I know that she is watching over all of her loved ones and blessing them in so many ways. Myself and  my family have gone through some situations in the past 2 years and i know in my heart that adriana and all the others that we have  lost are guiding me and truly giving me my strength to get through these times with a smile on my face and love in  my heart and the assurance that everything will be  ok. I love you girl and always will. I know you and david are up there smiling down on me and the  kids and it gives me the overwhelming feeling of comfort and assurance and i thank you for blessing me with that gift. Close

I didn't know Adriana..  / Pamela Campbell

I did not know Adriana at all, but I drive by the site of her tragic death every night on my way home from work, and I finally decided to look up her name to see who she was.

I'm happy to have found this site and to see the beautiful girl behind the name on a sign.  I'm touched by how sweet and talented she was and so very sorry for the loss her family and friends must still feel.

Please accept my condolences and I'm sorry for Adriana's absence in this world.

They do not understand  / Roxana (Mom)
I am so very sad and hurt.How do I get people to understand how I feel when they have no concept of that feeling of losing a child. Do they not understand that everything that is said or written about you whether good or bad, happy or sad is something that I want to hear. I don't know how they can be so cruel. To share such a story with strangers and not with your closest loved ones is unfathomable. They think they are shielding us,but in fact they hurt us in the deepest way possible. If they want to write about you and keep it to themselves so let it be, but if they are to share that story, make it public,for strangers to read, what better way to hurt those who cannot share those thoughts especially when it is so important to them to want to hear what others have to say. Are they ashamed of their thoughts and words they write, If so they shouldn;t share them with strangers. I am at a loss as to why they would want to hurt us so much. It's true- they do not understand.They have no concept of the loss or how we, who are closest feel. For that I am truly thankful for it is not something I would wish on anyone. Always in my heart, Love Mom. xxxoooxxx Close

Happy Birthday  / Roxana &. Jim (Mom & Dad )
Happy Birthday Sweetheart, You are always in our hearts. I pray that one day we will all be together. Close

Remembering Adriana  / Roxana (Mother)
Do not stay away because it is hard to talk about Adriana. We talk about her everyday. The stories about her let us know so much more about her. Miracles have happened because of her death-as they say out of every bad thing there is always something good that comes our way. Share these stories and new ones for they give the comfort knowing that she is remembered. Do not try to shield us as the harm is already done. Close

Angel Quote  / Angelica Grover (Twinless Twin)
Make yourself familiar with the angels
and behold them frequently in spirit;

Missing you  / Mike Bonnick (Family Friend )
As I read all the tributes to Adriana it brings water to my eyes to re-live the pain and frustration of losing her. Though it's four years since she was taken from us, I miss that lovely smile and regret bitterly not being able to follow her progress through life.

Adriana is sadly missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.



All my love,

Mike

the day god took you home  / MELISSA GIRARD (FRIEND)
You never said "I'm leaving",You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried. If Love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In Life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke are heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. Close

I miss my Addy  / Melissa Torguson (friend)

I know I haven't been around much especially when people probably needed me the most. All I really want everyone to know is that I never stopped loving her even when we weren't getting along. I miss her and she will always be my best friend.

Love always,

Melissa Torguson

April 19th  / Roxana (Mom)

This day will always be such a painful memory.  The dreaded call. The picture of you being thrown from the car, laying lifeless and alone on the ground.  How I wish that I could have held you in my arms and bought you back to life.  Seeing you at the hospital, so beautiful and peaceful as if you were just sleeping.   I want to wake up from this nightmare, but it lingers on. Three long years.  I will never forget.  I pray that we will be reunited one day when God wills it.  Your Mom forever.xxxoooxxx

Happy Birthday  / Roxana IMom)
I will never forgot the day you were born and each year thereafter.  Each year I watched you grow and each year I remember your different stages of beauty.  For the past three years I no longer get to see those changes.  You will always be forever young, always beautiful and always in my heart.   You will always be missed and loved. Forever Mom.xxxoooxxx Close

Christmas 2007  / Roxana (Mom)
Christmas was always your favorite holiday. Seeing your excitement at opening up your gifts was always so special. And then you were excited to see how we would enjoy our gifts. Things will never be the same. I will never again see the light in your eyes. Our special Christmas Eves will be no more. With all the family gone, there seems no point. All that remains are the memories. I will never get over losing you. You are missed so much sweet Angel Close

Angels will belong to you
Angels will survive for you and protect you no matter what you do
Angels will be there in time of need and angels will never leave as long as you believe.
