May your soul rest in peace as you find solice & comfort with the Lord. You will be missed by many especially by momma & grandma! Tricey & I will make sure that momma is taken care of just like you wished. But now we are envious of you right now because you are in a much better place; a prepared place. I find comfort in knowing that you are not suffering, worrying or even stressing anymore. GOD loves you and that is why he called you home and we just have to deal with what GOD had planned.
