I will miss the opportunity to spend time with Milissa. I only knew her for a short while. I know one thing for sure. She knows how to love ❤️ someone else. A deep love ❤️ that I never witnessed before. She is in paradise now. And someday I will see here again to refresh my spirit that way. I sincerely thank the Cantania family for allowing me to be part of their family on this journey 🙏. May the love ❤️ they all have continually grow ❤️.
My privilege to know them all. With sincere condolences 🙏.
