Krista, I have such great memories of our friendship. From going to Disney with Ms. Tucker's Sunday school class, youth group and high school. We've shared a lot of laughter and now sorrow. My childhood would not have been the same without you. I am thankful to you for reaching out to me 2 years ago. You helped me at a time when I really needed my friend. It's funny how God works! You will be missed by so many here but I know that Heaven needed you there. I know for a fact that your daddy was waiting at the pearly gates for you! Rest In Peace my sweet friend!! ❤
