Not sure what to say?

To the family I'm so sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet lady. I sat with her alot at the American Legion in West Memphis. Both of us loved karaoke. Her favorite song to sing was Standing Tall. Everytime I heard that song I thought about her and will now forever. Whenever I go somewhere for karaoke I'm gonna sing it and dedicate in memory of her. May she rest in peace and God wrap his comforting arms around her family. I found out today of her passing. My heart dropped. I'll always...

Phillis or Loretta Lynn as I like to call you, you will be truly missed and loved even more now that you have a seat in Heaven by God. I know you are no longer suffering in pain and singing for the Lord. Keep smiling and Rest in Peace. Love, Cyrissa K. Jackson
