Dear Thomas, Esperanza and Nathanael,
Words are not enough to convey my deepest sadness for each of you as you say goodbye (for a little while) to your precious Nadia. Never was a little girl more loved! It has been a wonderful privilege to stand with you during these years and I have grown to love each of you dearly. My picture of Nadia is where she is running, jumping and laughing in heaven with her heavenly Father who loves her so much. What joy she will be experiencing!
May God provide for you comfort, strength and encouragement as you look to Him in these sad days ahead.
With much love,
Sharon

Dearest Family:Our hearts ache within us; but we must remember God’s Word and His Promises for example, read 2 Thes. 2:16-17.
Jesus told His disciples in Luke 18:16 “Suffer Little Children to come unto me,and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven”….Even our Nadia’s name meaning Hope gives us hope when remembering her . Thanks be to God for His Gift of Nadia and to you all for sharing her with us. My prayers go up for you Esperanza, Thom, Nathaniel; and grandparents and family. Love You as Ever,

Queridisimos Esperanza, Thomas y Nathanael,
En este dia siento un dolor inmenso por esta noticia y por no haberlos acompanado mas de cerca durante todo este tiempo.
Nadia me enseno lo que verdaderamente significa tener al Senor, por medio de su paciencia, serenidad y su alegria. Ustedes me ensenaron lo que significa la palabra “generosidad” siempre pensando en los otros primero que en ustedes mismos.
Con muchisimo amor los acompanamos en su dolor, estan en nuestras oraciones, muchas bendiciones,

Dear Esperanza, Tom, and Nathanael,
We have no words but just wanted to tell you that somehow we are beside you, as always, but in a special way now.
Lastly Nadia (and Esperanza) means that, Hope. And we have now our Nadia in the LORD.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Put your hope in the LORD, be strong,
and let your heart take courage!
Yes, put your hope in the LORD!
Psalm 26: 13-14

Dear Esperanza, Thomas and Nathanael – No words can express the depths of your loss, and our loss as well as we so fondly remember and cherish the times that Nadia always brightened our days at school with her beautiful smile, her sweet laughter and her incredible determination and spirit. My prayers are with you, and I shall be placing a special Angel on my Christmas tree with Nadia’s name upon it. I am so grateful for the time that we had to share with Nadia in school and for the kindness that you showed to her classmates during your visits. May God bless you, and keep you strong and loving as you always have been.

I believe that when God calls us to Heaven, He gives as a new home where our glorious bodies are free of pain and our spirits are joyful and peaceful. I imagine Nadia there, laughing and running free among other brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, waiting for the day until you all meet again.
I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child … May God bring comfort to your souls.

Thomas, Esperanza, and Nathanael,
We were priviledged to care for Nadia, and enjoyed every interaction with her. You truly did everything possible to help her and witnessing your love and sacrifice for her was inspiring. Prayers for God’s peace with you at this time are offered.

Dear Thomas, Esberanza, &Nathanial
I am so happy that Sharon asked me to help with exercising a young girl 21/2 years ago.. It was one if not the best expererience’s I have been
privilaged to have. The joy in your home was very contagious every time you walked through your door. Your kindness will be forever with me. It was so gratifying to help Naudia in any small way, we received much more than we gave, her huge laughing eyes, her rascally laugh melted our hearts. Your never ending hope & work with Naudia is an inspiration for all who was lucky enough to share in this journey with you
The faith in your hearts is strong & will endure the test of time.
Love always
Bev
