Tammy, Bubba, Tracey and family,
Our heart aches for all of you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We know that no words can help ease the pain and loss that all of you are feeling right now. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.
"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
With Our Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy,
Marie, Phillip, Kristy, Kayla, Kendra, Kyle Pruitte
