Dearest Erica, Victoria and Lizzie: You guys are special people to me. Erica, I appreciate you always having confidence in me educating your girls. I love them dearly. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers. Your mom was such a beautiful lady and I am sure she was beautiful inside also. It will be a struggle, however you three ladies stick together and God will pull you through. Victoria and Lizzie, I love both of you dearly and I am so glad that you girls have touched my life in such a special way. I love seeing Lizzie's smiling face come through the door every morning.

I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I never met Mrs. Peggy, she was always spoken highly of by her family. Erica even had personal messages to give me from her mom. To care and show you care about someone you don't even know speaks volumes. With God's love and guidance, we are able to make it through life's greatest trials. I apologize that I am not able to pay my respect Tuesday evening, but know that I am always here for you and your family Erica.

My mother has to have been one of the most incredible people to have ever graced this earth with her presence. She carried the weight of the world on her shoulders with a smile on her face. She encouraged peace in times no one thought it could be possible. She always looked for the good in people, even in those who had little good to be seen. She fought a hard fight, she lived when others would have given up. She was truly an earth bound angel. My mother was my best friend. She loved her grandchildren and lived her life based around those two girls. She was the most unselfish person I have ever met. I love you momma.
