I just wanted it to be known that this past November of 2016 Pedro Navarro the man that killed my sister Karina Velarde was sentenced to 50 YEARS TO LIFE!!!
I know nothing can bring her back... And yes the world is so quiet and silent without laughter since she has been gone! But i truly believe in God's justice! I MISS MY SISTER KARINA. aka LIL ONE!!
