Not sure what to say?

We are just 3 days shy of it being 5 years since you left this earth. I think of you often and when I see anyone that bears any resemblance to you, I catch myself doing a double take. You pop up in my memories on Facebook and seeing that your profile photo hasn´t changed in 5 years while the rest of ours have is just another reminder that you are frozen in time. I pray you are held closely by God and that you know truly how loved you are. I love you, sweet girl

Hello Vanna, I miss you so much and I can’t believe that we are coming up on your 4 year anniversary of your passing. I keep telling myself that you are at peace but it is so hard. I know you and Anthony are together in heaven having fun. That puts my heart at ease. Please keep a watchful eye over Hannah. Till we meet again, have fun in Paradise. Love ya Savannah. C u soon.

Bonnie.

I miss you so much Savannah. Please keep a watchful and protective eye over Hannah please. Give Anthony a big hug and kiss for me. I love and miss you so much. Rest in peace our sweet Angel.


I am sending my sincere condolences to the family. May you find comfort in this thought found at Isaiah 61:1,2 which reads in part" God sent his son to bind up the brokenhearted and to comfort those who mourn."

I am sending my love and prayers to you. You might remember me from the drugstore. I lost one of my daugters to cancer last June so I know a parent's pain and I lost a sister to suicude. I know that your feelings are your feelings and I would never say that I know how You feel. I will just send you love.

I love you Savannah

I did not have the pleasure of knowing this beautiful young woman. This was a wonderful tribute. There are so many people that suffer from mental illness and hopefully this tribute will touch someone and give them courage to ask for help. My thought and prayers to you all.

I met Savannah when she worked at the bank in City Market. She was funny & adorable & each interaction we shared was a lovely and lively one. To honor her, I will attend the suicide summit at Miller Middle School next week. Shine on, Sunflower. You made a difference in my life.

Michelle and Tony, finding the right words is so hard. I simply wish you comfort and healing at this time and God Bless Savannah.
