Raven Dionne Dowd

No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. Losses like this can make us challenge our faith; however, this is precisely the time when our faith needs to be its strongest.

We're praying that you and your family faith will help you all through this very difficult time. We pray that you all will find the strength to get through y'll grief and sadness.

We are thinking about your all loss and so sorry for you Stef, her dad and your family. We would like to leave you all with the oft quoted words of the poet Ellen Brenneman, “We can’t know why the lily has so brief a time to bloom in the warmth of sunlight’s kiss upon its face before it folds into its fragrance and bids the world good night to rest its beauty in a gentler place. But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost and no one who has touched a heart can really pass away because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which they’ve been a part.”

In Sincere Friendship and Love! Nina, Dina, James, Rickey, Jamie Cooper

Raven was a special young lady. I will always remember her as a special student of mine at Aikin. I love her as one of mine and always will cherish the last hug I received from her. Much love and prayers, Sabrina Rosson
