You have my deepest heartfelt condolences. It is so hard to lose a child or someone so young. But look to God, family and friends, for strength and support to carry you through this. Keep his happy memories close to your heart. (Isa. 41:10) And keep your head up. Acts 24:15 says “there is going to be a resurrection”. We will be able to see Dontavious again on this earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
