      To the Digg’s family, extended family & loved ones. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your loving daughter. I pray that the wonderful memories you hold of her will bring you comfort and turn tears of sorrow to ones of joy & laughter as you reminisce.
      May the promise God made us in Rev.21v 4-7 of “death shall be no more” & all the wonderful things it states give you hope.
      With Love & sympathy
