Your Honor,

Elisa Rivera and I have known each other for over twenty years. But only recently
became true friends and a loving sisters in Christ. Our bond is through the God we
both serve. I believe she came into my life to give me the encouragement to fight
for what God has planned and purposed for me, and the support to see that battle
through. I am thankful that God put her in my path during what seemed to be the
most difficult time in my life. Her words, prayers, and love truly made a difference.

I write this letter because it is important for me to state and you to know that Elisa
is dedicated to doing what is right and being loyal to those she loves, even if she
suffers the consequences as a result of doing it. There are not very many of us that
have the courage that she does to confront and face things head on and with the faith
that God’s will always prevails no matter what. I only wish that I could be as strong
and faithful as she is. But as each day passes and each trial makes its way, I am
reminded of her resilience and perseverance. I am reminded that God is truly in
control of all things even when it seems He isn’t. If it wasn’t for God placing Elisa
in my life at the right time, showing me that He is truly with me, I truly believe my
life would have taken a different course.

My prayer is that God be merciful to my sister in Christ through you. The response
to that prayer is that I know He will be. Please know that I count on her texts every
morning giving me the encouragement to face all that is placed before me throughout
the day and with the faith that all will be well.

Your Honor, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you about my friend
Elisaand to have this letter read before you.
