Heaven is rejoicing to welcome a new resident, and she is no doubt dancing around the throne of God. We do not sorrow as those who have no hope, because eternity is real and we will meet our loved ones that have gone before. Grace and peace to you and your family during this time.

dear missy- cissy and i have known your family since i was 12 years old and cissy was 1. that would be 40 years now. even though we don't get to see any of you very often, we think of all of you as our own family. when we see or talk to any of you it is like we were never apart. we can just pick up right where we left off. your mom and my mom were good friends for a long time. i can only imagine what that reunion will be like in heaven. both of them trying to talk at the same time. it makes me laugh to think about it. i am so sorry that we did not make it to the funeral. you all were on my mind and in my prayers all weekend. we love you all so much and hope that we can see each other more often in the future than we have in the past. love. kim.

What an honor it has been, for the past 24 years, to be a part of this wonderful family. Shula Faye was truly a "one-of-a-kind" lady, wife, mother and mother-in-law who will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Tootle loo, Nana, we love you!
