There is a great void in our hearts that can never be filled and you will never be forgotten. We love you..Your family
I won’t ever forget her. The morning meetings before school. She was a fine lady she will be missed.
She will be missed.
To a wonderful friend I had as a child, taking my hand, teaching me about life and sharing your M&Ms. I really loved being able to have you around with my family at the apple orchard when you worked there, loved your hugs and your smile and how you would always sing to me and sit and talk and share. I remember staying over at your home and when older meeting Holly I believe it was. She had just learned to brush her teeth by herself. You will be missed and I feel blessed to have had you as my friend growing up. I will always remember your words of wisdom and how you listened so well. May GOD keep you near and heaven be all you wished it would be. Love you Bee!
