Dear Willie, Mario and Famliy,
Tootsie always had a special place in my heart when we were growing up. We used to spend quite a bit of time together when we were young. It's sad that we grow up and go our own ways,and lose track of each other. Tootsie was a beautiful lady. My prayer is , that God will give you strength, and comfort during this very sad time. Lean on Him, He is always there. He promised us, that He would never leave us or turn His back on us.
God Bless You.
Your Cousin, Debbie Roberts Hunt

Our deedpest sympathy goes out to the entire family of Tootsie. We remember her as a young girl when she lived in Watsonville. How difficult it must be to have lost her when she had so many years ahead. Too young to leave this earth, that's for sure. Sending our thoughts, prayers and love.

Dear Aunt Willie,Mario, and Tootsie's family,
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. It hasn't been that long since my mother's passing, so I can understand how difficult this must be for all of you. I believe in a heavenly father who brings comfort during this time of grief, so I pray that he will bless you greatly with that comfort and peace as you get through the days ahead. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Your Niece and Cousin,
Susie Kidd Edwards
