Lynn and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. But you know when we lose our loved ones they gain. They get to be in Heaven with our Loving Heavenly Father and our loved ones that have gone before, your Daddy, and her Mama and Daddy. You will always have your memories and she will ALWAYS be in your heart. In times like this it is sad but it just makes our going home that much sweeter.
