Your family was always so loving and welcoming to a confused, scared little girl. Y'all showed me how much love a family can share when you love and respect each other. I will always treasure my memories of the time I spent with y'all.

I know that you didn't want to leave us but God had his plans for you. I am thankful for our time together on this earth. Thank you for being a role model for us and encouraging us with everything. The kids will miss you and so will I. I love you and see you again one day. Tell Grandpa hello for me and give your mom a hug. Love you,
