Your life mattered…. Our girls loved you so much and I know you loved them!
I pray that you’re sitting at the feet of Jesus - whole, healed, and at peace! Maybe you will get to sing and play your guitar for everyone in heaven to dance to. Help watch over our daughters, as well as our granddaughters! Fly high!
