Love Lisetta and Family
May God bring you comfort during this great loss. My father Bob Tucker, Aunt Lillian's brother, has been gone for 34 years now and I still remember it like it was yesterday. God only gives us one father and mother and there loss effects us forever. I am thankful she will be reunited with daddy, and encouraged she will no longer be in pain. Only God can comfort us during these times. No words bring comfort but please know even though this family "the Tucker's" is huge, we all share a kindred spirit.
Love and prayers
