Sonya,

It has been years since we played ball together at Rock Ridge, but when I heard this news my heart broke. I can't imagine what you are going through right now, but I do know that we serve a God who is the Master of all things and that His Will is perfect. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your whole family. I've always thought alot of you and your dad, Eddie.

Love and Prayers,
Somer (Bunn) Overby

Sonya and family,
Erika and Keisa are my step daughters,and we have a little granddaughter named Brooklyn too. I know that you are sad and missing Brooklyn but always know that she shines in your hearts. When you see the stars in Heaven, know that she is with God looking down on you every day. May God bless you.

Hi Sonya and Steve,

Although we never had the pleasure to meet little Brooklyn, we have been thinking about you, grieving with you, and praying for you and your family.

Psalm 121: I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.

Seek God for comfort, he can provide you a peace that transcends all understanding and place where you can find rest. He loves you so much and wants to help make your burden light.

Can't wait to meet your sweet, precious Brooklyn in heaven.

To my "Sweet Cheeks"Brooklyn,

My Dearest Brooklyn I fell deeply in love with you the first time I saw your 4D ultrasound of you before you were born. I knew right then I was wrapped around your pretty little fingers. You were in your mommy and already were photogenic. Your big beautiful eyes were looking right at us and I was in love. I know now all the time I spent with you was a Godsend and I will cherish all 205 days I had with you. Your mommy was the best thing to happen in my life and you my "sweet cheeks" are right there with her. My love for you is indescribable and I will miss you terribly. I love you "Sweet Cheeks"....With all my Love...Grandpa

I am here for y'all anytime and we as a family will get through this.

Sonya and Steve,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this time. We wonder why these things happen, but know that God always has a reason and will help you through this. He needed one more angel but know that she will always be with because he chose to share her with you if only for a short time. Your lives were made richer for having had Brooklyn to share even a small part of it with.
