She went on to say that her daughters, her sister and her grandson have held each others’ hands so tight during this hard time. 
“Dad lives on in our hearts and the many great memories we’ve shared over the past 20 years,” she wrote. 
“He’ll always be with us. God will give us the strength to soldier on and heal our broken hearts. To my brothers and sisters on both sides, God is still God. He will see us through. To my angel She, thank you for the best 20 years of my life! I love you and know that you are with us in spirit. One day we’ll be reunited, and all the angels in heaven will rejoice.”
