"God knows what is best and he has the master plan," Beshada McGregor wrote in a response to an open request for memories of her. "Abby and her father are in a much better place. They were angels on Earth and now they are with God being angels in Heaven."

ReplyDeleteBest of all, the possibility of the trial of the perpetrator of Stephen Hyland Tyler and his daughter Abby Tyler, no longer exists now, and thank God. There is no need for retribution, the perpetrator was gone for good.
