What a blessed person I am to have known sweet Journey and to have been her kindergarten teacher. I will treasure my time spent with her. My peace comes in knowing she is in the arms of Jesus. Thank you Lord.

To one of the best little girls i have ever set eyes on, and loved with more than a thousand hearts. We will miss your smile and laughter and those great big hugs you gave. I feel comfort in knowing you are in the arms of of the Lord, and we will see you again some day. You are the brightest star in the sky, shinning down on us all. So, my Journey Burny, have the time of your life in the greatest place ever. Until we see each other again. Love Aunt Jo, Uncle Michael and Garrett.

I’m very sad that I never got to meet Journey. I have known her Mom and family for a long time. When I see pictures I see Summer when she was little they look so much alike. I wish things had turned out differently. We are praying…
All our love Gwen, Sandy, Brianne,Ryan and Katherine Ramirez

I am a good friend of Journeys Daddy and Grandma Ellen. I know that they love Journey more then life. To my friends you now will start down a very long and sad road. The loss of a child or grandchild is the worst loss that anyone could ever face. You will learn a new normal in your life, You will miss and think of her everyday, But remember she is now an Angel and will shine her light down on you. She is that beautiful rainbow. She is that warm breeze. She is that star in the sky. She will smile down on you and be there to greet you when your time comes and you see her again. Dance with the Angels sweet Journey.
