I want to say my prayers goes out to the family whom was truly like my second family for years. I remember the days when we (me and my two girls) spent days and weekends when eveyone met over grandmas to eat, clown and just laugh all day and night. I have many fond memories of the Conley family, they brought a lot of joy to my life during lonely times and I will never forget them that's why my heart and prayers goes out to each of them during this time of sorrow. I love you all.

My 2nd family, my heart is so heavy my tears still rolling for my neighbor, my friend of 18 yrs. Sandi and I would sit for houses over each other's house. Talking, laughing, listening to music and eating. God saw that you were tired He said it's time, no more pain, you fought a good fight, you ran your race. Memories are what we will cherish, your smile your touch, I will miss. Rest my friend Til we meet again. Family I love you all and my prayers are always with you. Love you all your sister neighbor friend.
