Dear Busby Family,
Please accept my most heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved Tschanavia. My heart aches with yours during this incredibly difficult time.
As a childhood friend who grew up alongside Tschanavia and attended the same schools, hearing this news has brought back a flood of memories and profound sadness. Tschanavia wasn't just a friend; she was a vibrant part of my own childhood landscape. Many of us as young girls shared so many moments growing up in a close-knit community – the laughter, the adventures, the simple joys of our childhood days. Her spirit, her smile, and the unique bond we forged as kids are memories I will always cherish.
Those roots we shared as youthful girls created a special connection. Tschanavia held a place in our hearts as a piece of our history, a companion from a formative time. Knowing she is no longer with us leaves a deep sense of loss.
While we cannot fathom the depth of your grief as her family, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all constantly. I pray that you find strength in your love for each other and in the countless precious memories you hold of Tschanavia. May God's healing grace surround you, offering comfort and the peace that surpasses understanding in the days and weeks ahead.
Tschanavia's light touched many lives, including ours from our earliest years. She will be remembered fondly by all who knew her, especially those of us who were blessed to call her a friend during our wonderful formative years. I speak for myself and the countless others who knew her and asked that my voice echoes the sentiments of all of us who knew of her kind and humble spirit.
With deepest sympathy and love in Christ,
Rev. Wanda Leatherwood-Robinson, Senior Pastor Greater Salter Chapel Bogaloosa, Louisiana
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
