Dear Friends,
What a honor to be so Blessed with a mom who showed Jesus in so many ways. She gives with a happy heart, her smiles brings a comfort and ease, a welcome that says I wanna be your friend, her chuckles shows Gods grace is there for the asking in all situations. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her Blessed,
with all our love and prayers

Hey Tracy,
So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Tracy and Family,
I know how difficult it is to say good-bye to someone you love. I understand the heartbreak and what seems like the finality of it all. But, you will rise up in the midst of your tomorrows clinging to the memories, clinging to the hope that you will see her again, whole, free from pain, no understanding of the passing or of your sorrow. She will be standing with a smile, arms opened wide waiting to greet you and show you your mansion in Heaven.
