Vonda, you have touched so many lives, your smile would light the darkess room, your laughter would fill the sadess heart. Those who new you loved you, those who did not know you missed so much. Our lives were better for knowing you, our hearts are breaking from losing you.
Angels are rejoycing as you walk through the Gates of Heaven, while those left behind rejoyce just to know you are now at peace, without pain and enjoying your new life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Larry and family.
May God Bless you
We love you
