Sissy was an absolute force of nature! She embodied all of the Christian faith, devotion to family, SPUNK, and positivity one could ever hope to have! I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that she earned her spot in heaven and was welcomed by many familiar faces! This world will certainly be a bit dimmer in her absence.
