Lee, David & Brenda & Family
We are so saddened by your loss but it is good to know she is no longer in pain and is probably siting at Jesus feet with Karen, Mommy and Daddy. No more oxegen to drag around with her. Even though we will miss her we can't begrudge her that. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. I apologize that I cannot make the services but I just got out of the hospital and with all the meds I can't drive that far. Love you all.
