Sister-in-Law,
Another physical holiday without you here on earth. Am I sad? That's an insane question. Most days I still find myself looking for messages, phone calls or the Friday night get togethers at your house unplanned lol. Now I guess we still have to carry on the tradition with Christmas caroling Silent Night when Brian opens the door LLS!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU so much. The 17 will continue to carry your memory FOREVER. You know they say I favor you. The big eyes and how we will straighten the issue QUICK! Continue to watch and protect the family. Give those Churchmans up there with you, my love.

Teenie,
Though I realize you are so fortunate to be leaving this chaotic world for much greener pastures, I'll still miss running into you and sharing a laugh or two. Rest in peace. Your job is done.

I´m sending prayers of condolence to all who were/are effected by the passing of Teenie-bit, as I grew up calling Marietta. Remember the good times, of which there were many, that´s what she would have you do. She has crossed the river and is resting with Jesus, she´s been studying the Word in an effort to ensure her resting place. It´s up to us to continue striving to get there, to see our loved ones again...
