Sending love and sympathy to family and friends. Forever you will be, our cute little 7 year old "Tootie" walking down the aisle, in a beautiful blue dress, as a flower girl at a family wedding. May you find eternal peace.

Wow, this is so hard, we were just laughing and talking at Ashley Stewart. You will be missed. I thank God that I had the opportunity to meet you and we often spoke about God. I will continue to pray for your family that they will be strengthened through this. You are now in the Land of No More! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest on my sister.
