Love you always,
Carrie
The first time I met you, was the last night I saw you. You made me laugh and were so kind. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful soul once again. Thinking of you today, Rapunzel.
Iam forever grateful to have met such a kindhearted person! She took me under her wing! She was so cute shopping at Ross during last year’s holiday. My daughters fell in love with her! When we bumped into each other, my girls would say “mommy that’s the sweet lady, your friend, she named her daughter Rapunzel.” Thank you for helping me during the pageants and the holidays! I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Absent with the body present with the Lord.
Blessings to the entire family.
Mary may you rest in peace.
Love, Pat
Your daughter, Jackie, whom I adore brought us together ❤ long distance with photos and text messages.
Although we never met, I felt we had a sweet connection through Jackie.
My condolences to your amazing family for the loss of a “beautiful soul”.
Vernon and Delores Torry
