Not sure what to say?

Love you all in the world Aunt Vicki ! You´ll always be missed and always be the best aunt ever. When I get there please have me some chicken n dumplings ready to go with a side of soup burgers !

Momma was the best lady, the strongest spirit, and the most beautiful soul I´ve ever known. She gave me the color of her eyes, her curls, her nose, and she´s everything I see when I look in the mirror. Most importantly, she gave me life and love. I can never thank her enough and I couldn´t have asked for a better mother. I love you all in the world, Momma. Until we meet again, Ciao Momma!

Single Tree

She was the best Aunt ever and made the best chicken and noodles you’d ever had.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Prayers to you all.
