My Great Friend Danielle

I want to say a prayer for my friend who passed on, Danielle, and our mutual friend Miguel as well. They both has heart attacks 2 days apart, in two different continents.
May They rest in peace, I will remember you always , our experiences together will never be matched, our mutual understanding and compassion for one another, you will be so missed
