My sincerest condolences, prayers, & giant hugs to all the lives she's touched We never met in person yet were Facebook friends whom met because of my identical twin, Elaine "Laney/Lainey" Willis, & 1 of the non-biological best friend's of Alli, Barbara Caine, whom my "twinster" had briefly collaborated I believe in a business level which developed into a friendship with her & some Barbara knew personally in the area which they lived & nearby where they spent some times at community events. Her prayer chain link was forwarded to me approximately a couple of years ago. Then I had befriended some of these people via Facebook ... namely the aforementioned, Amanda Taylor, & Kelli Goodman (maybe 1 or more others). Some of us have had a few exchanges through the FB messenger chat. Nevertheless, when I have come to see & know the remarkable circle of support that these ladies & their families have had directly & indirectly specifically unto my immediate family & a host of others, I instantly am overcome to give into extreme appreciation mixed for now with grief I'm absolutely, certainly, definitely, indeed with all in spirit now as we all are 1 Holy Royal Family & will maintain prayer vigils & extend the requests within my circles of prayer warriors Many profound thanks in advance for the reciprocation as these most recently immensely impact of Alli's heavenly return has shaken me up to even further live anewly & as much as possible to carry on her fav. verse in her honor as I'd begun to do so soon after learning of such! This created a magnitude of miraculous healing for me & others!! I've had a refreshing reminder of courage to exspress yet again the depths of which I care about others & reach out again in different ways to make sure they realize how much of a treasure I have found in them! I feel as if my sissy & I may have had an undeniable similar knowledge of the bond between Amanda & Alli from ours, specifically with our chronic health diagnosises. Such is why I find myself so emotional to Alli's Earthly temporal yet now seemingly permanent departure!! I'd be duly honored to meet if & when God wills upon my next return to my birth state!
