A tech rehearsal for 1660 vine we were in the wings of the stage just sitting there, cuddling together and watching our friends perform. You were so supportive of anyone who stepped foot into the shining spotlight and you gave everyone their moment. We were talking about life and laughing about dumb things that happened in school. You made that day memorable for me and I will never forget your beautiful smile and how you lit up the room every time you walked in. We spent a lot of time together and I got to know you and how beautiful your soul was. You were a blessing to me and I will never forget you Io. I love you eternally. Thank you for everything. Fly high🕊️

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Io. Words cannot convey the depth of my sorrow for you and yours. I did not know Io, but I can see the beautiful spirit that resonates so purely in her eyes.  May her memory and the time you had together comfort you. Her soul is free, her heart no longer burdened by the toils of this earth, her light far reaching, ever so bright, unending. She is peaceful and at ease, and I hope, with time, that you will be, too.

I send all of my love and light to you. I know it is hard. I can only imagine. I just want you to know that you are loved and so is your precious daughter, and I will do my best moving forward in my own life in her honor. I have recently suffered a loss of my own, and I feel numb and empty trying to come to terms with it… but finding your daughter’s memorial has helped me to accept my own feelings and to listen to my heart. She has helped me from beyond. And I am grateful to her.

Thank you, Io. Thank you, Janine. May God bless you both and may we all be blessed. Sending love.
