    “Gabrielle” we love you. Our prayers are with you and your family. Look to the sky for God is the answer. Toot took her place on God’s throne, he has many angles. “Let not your heart be troubled” (John: 14).

      Im going to start of saying that im sorry for your lost to the family and many loved ones even myself when I first found out about toot passing I went into my room and went to crying I just didnt want it to be real I had got think to myself for a moment . I just cannot stop thinking about this man like this is really hurting me inside because falani was very talented like she had a beautiful spirit and she loved to dance I missed see her smiling faces like this is just makes me mad but I know that things happen for a reason and I know that she is well now 😓 Its feels like I cant wake up out of my nightmare . To the family if your reading I love you guys and im with you with anything toot would want us happy for her even though she is gone we will ALWAYS remember her😥😭. I never wanted it to be like this but its always gonna be #LLToot💕😭
