Condolence: Dearest Ron Paiva, I cannot begin to share with you the amount of love, joy and happiness I am feeling right now to hear from you. Desiree's passing has brought you to us so I am responding in the way you reached out to us. Welcome son to our family-we love you and always have. Please let us know how we can reach you. By the way we are a VERY LARGE family and cant wait to meet you. With God's blessing and Love,Dorothy Paiva

Condolence: There is nothing that can be said now to ease your pain. Keep your memories close in your mind and heart and visit them often. She is in GOD's care.

Condolence: Dear Paiva Family,
I am so sorry for you loss. I recently lost a cousin who was only a couple years older than Desiree. I can't imagine the pain you are going through right now, but I know how difficult it was for me. I just wanted to briefly share something I found comforting. I appreciate the scripture at John 5:28,29, which says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Fom this scripture I know we will be reunited with our loved ones. 1 Corthinans 15:26 actually calls death an enemy, so this is how God views death. It helped me to know I will see my cousin again and there will be a time when there is no more death. Please accept my condolences.

Condolence: Dearest Desiree,
My name is Ron Paiva and I am whom I believe to be your Brother. On this past Tuesday I had just discovered your existence along with my other siblings; Dana being the exception, whom I've known about for awhile. Only to learn just hours later of your recent passing. Although it is difficult to adequately mourn and grieve a Sister that I've never known. My heart still weeps for an opportunity lost. It is my continued hope that we will have better luck in the next lifetime dear Sister.
Paiva family. Please understand that I extend these sincere condolences with the utmost respect and reverence for not only you, but for the memory of Desiree as well; for the timing of these events has forced me to act understanding that I do not have the luxury of time.
I pray for God's love and healing to comfort your family during these most difficult of moments.

With Peace, Love, and Many Blessings,
Ronald A. Paiva Sr.

Condolence: Dorothy & family,
My deepest condolences to you at this difficult time. I just lost a family member too and it's never easy. I pray for Desiree to rest in peace and for comfort for your entire family.
