Larisa, I love you. I miss you. I miss seeing that gorgeous smile. I miss hearing your laughter fill the house. I will never forget all those memories we had together... camping in N. Georgia, picking blueberries along with me and Vicky and then comparing the labor to picking cotton... so much more memories. Whenever I think of you now, I just smile because I know you are in a better place than here. One day we will be celebrating eternal life together. You have taught me so many great qualities such as patience, love towards the less fortunate and a gentle hand. Your faith ignited my faith towards God's many promises for us. I never want to live even one day in vain. Life is too short and too precious to be missing out all the beautiful things God has granted us. Larisa, I know you are watching over us now and see our saddened faces but we ask God to give us strength to not falter in our faith towards God and help heal this wound. There is a pain in my heart because of the fact you left at the tender age of 34 with a loving husband and four beautiful children, but that is merely days compared to what we will be spending in heaven together. I love you Larisa and I cannot wait until the day we meet again. Love, Alinka
