In the meantime, mom Lucy sends her daughter a long message as she anticipates her entry into university, stating, “My Juliana Gomez, my little best friend and answered prayer, off to college now. From the day I found out I was carrying you in my womb, my prayer was/always is that you become the person God designed you to be,” adding, “Be strong, brave, always kind. And as you pursue your dreams, may you find in each day many opportunities to make your corner of the world as wonderful and beautiful as your gentle heart.
