Although we lost touch over many years, we shared some very special times together 35 years ago. I met you when Brandon was just a baby, and he will always have a special place in my heart, as will you.I wish you peace in your final journey, and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Family,

To recall my childhood, many of my memories include Lahoma; she was like my aunt, and you, her children like my own siblings. So much time has come between us, but the love for your...our family remains.

I pray for peace in your hearts and an understanding that God has great plans for each of his children. HE has, and will continue to do wonderful things through Lahoma.

God bless you all.
