Georgia and Holly,
I have been blessed to watch McKinley evolve into a beautiful young lady. I remember her as a preschooler in daycare, as an ever joyful girl scout throughout elementary school and a stunning bright ray of sunshine in middle school. My heart aches that she is no longer here for you to treasure, I know she has graced heaven and is fully embraced by our loving Father. I will treasure her dearly in my heart. Peace to you both.

Hi big sis, I have always loved you from day one. Just as I have loved Grayson. We shared many holidays together and birthdays; I have watched you grow into a lovely young woman over the years. MiMi is getting old and I feel we will be together soon. I love you big sis and Grayson so very much. See you soon, love MiMi.

Mick, you were the social butterfly and always organized like your mom. You are very intelligent and talented like Grayson. You and Grayson would light up a room when you walked into it. You were our fashion queen and always looked perfect. Your smile as Grayson's I will remember until I see you in heaven. Sing and play I will see you soon, love MiMi.
