Condolence: May fond memories of Vada bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these.  My heart and sympathies go out to you and your family. Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the righteous one is due for a blessing." Something that gives us great comfort is the Bible truth that death is not the dot or period at the end of a sentence, but rather the comma or pause because our dear loved ones will live again. We know that we will see our loved ones again because the beautiful promise recorded at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."  What a truly special day so close at hand to be able to embrace our loved ones again!

Condolence: Stacey and Family, My prayers and thoughts are with you. I cannot put into words how very sorry I am. My heart physically hurts for you. I will continue to keep you in my prayers, asking that God will bring you comfort and wrap you in His loving arms and hold you close during this time.

Condolence: I was Vada’s kindergarten teacher. She was one of my first students. I remember her being such a sweet child. Sorry, for your loss. I will pray for your family.

Condolence: I am truly sorry for the loss of your precious daughter Vada. Death is the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I pray the promises in God’s word the Bible will help you to cope. At John 5:28, 29 we are given the hope of seeing our loved ones again, as we are told “all those in the memorial tombs . . . will come out” at a time when sickness, pain and death are a thing of the past and peace will prevail. (Isaiah 33:24 and Revelation 21:4) I hope these promises bring comfort and hope to your heart.

Condolence: To the Barker family, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of Vada. May you draw comfort from all the wonderful memories you shared and from our Heavenly Father who comforts us during our trials, (Psalms 46:1) One day soon, all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. (John 5:28, 29) May these promises from God's word, the Bible give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.

Condolence: I’m sorry for your loss! I used to be a student at FHS and OHHS never knew Vada! But she seemed to touch a lot of people! My prayers go out to you guys and the students at VHS

Condolence: So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: I work as a college admissions rep and recruit Fayette county quite often for my institution. During my very few encounters with Vada, I witnessed a soul with such sincerity and respect the likes of which I rarely witness. This girl spoke to me directly and asked legitimate questions that she hoped would make an impact on her future. I won’t pretend I knew her, but I certainly never could of forgotten her uniquely beautiful name. Each time I saw Vada, I made it clear that I remembered her, and she always seemed genuinely gleeful that I did. The world is a little less pure in her absence. I wish her family, and the entire Valley community my deepest condolences in this troubling time of loss.

Condolence: So sorry for your loss. I know you don't know me but I too lost my teenage daughter last summer. She was a student at MTHS. I will pray for comfort and peace. Much love.

Condolence: Im so sorry for all this. Vada was a very nice and sweet caring person. I knew her for a long time and shes a amazing friend and a smart young lady. Vada helped me alot through school and it hurts my heart to hear about her! My prayers are with her family through this tragedy.

Condolence: I am so sorry. I remember her as a sweet little girl that matured into a lovely young lady. I pray God be with all of you during this time.

Condolence: No words can help at a time like this but prayers are always needed. 🙏🙏🙏 for all of you. May God help you with Everything.
