As a member of the community, I give my sincere condolences to everyone affected by this loss. He was so young to have passed away, and it must be an incredible loss for his children. May they take comfort in knowing that God promises to care for them because he “comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God” 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4
You will be best you were such a great friend To have I was lucky to know you and have you in my life You will always be with me and my thoughts I love you and you will truly be missed.
I will never understand why you left us… You were insatiable… Your appetite for life was admirable… You were always there for me. Like loved you from the time we first met. You helped me embrace my strength and always reminded me of who I was when I couldn’t find myself…. I told you that no matter what I would always at the very least be the understanding ear at the end of the phone. You left us all behind never to forgive ourselves for not being able to lift you up the way you always lifted us… I’m so pissed at you. I always told you I would be… You told me you’d always be here… Even if the world could not contain your energy. You are a jerk for leaving us… And know that when I see you on the other side I’m kicking your butt… Just like I use to. I’m going to miss you so much. Rhian Dey you really cut me deep this time. I’ll always love you. As all of us will.
To my entire Dey family; There are no words that can describe how deeply sorry I am that Rhian left you so early. Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship. V
Sorry for your loss Peggy. Rhian was such a sweetie and will be missed by many. The whole Dey family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My family and I would like to extend our sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May the true God mend your family crushed and broken hearts, and may your family be comforted by God’s promise of the resurrection. (John 6:40) Which assures us that we will see our loved ones again.
To the Dey family
