So very sorry for the loss of your dear wife. She was a beautiful lady.
Nothing I can say will ease the pane only time and love of family and friends. When I think of the loss of my family and friends i think of what the Bible says at Acts 4:15 It talks about a resurrection and we will see them again There are many scriptures of the resurrection in the bible With Love and tears.
Great aunt Vinia Kiersey and family

Such a beautiful picture of my dear friend who I appreciated her communication we had. I miss her dearly. I took pride in her appreciating my friendship. The bond between us will never fade.
I pray for you Mike and for Iva and for all the family and friends that you will find comfort and cherish the memories. I love all of you.
To a lifelong friend and loving sister you'll be daily missed fly high and rest in peace my friend
Tonya,
You were the crazy big sister that I needed in my life each time you came back into it. From telling me to cut loose and walk on the dark side as a teenager trying to convince me to it was ok for Iva and I to sneak out, to offering advise about running a small business, to telling your Momma it’s ok it’s just me and family when she was in the hospital and wanted to change, you were a go to person for me and made me feel like family. We understood each other and you were the only person to tell me that I didn’t need to worry about my not being accepted by my family because you accepted me and saw the real me. I know you are busy up there watching over everyone and keeping the wolves at bay for those you love. Now I am just rambling like I always do. I love you, Tonya. Have fun with your Daddy and Grandparents.
i miss you so much and you will always be in my heart from aunt bibby
