Donnita I am so very sorry for your loss will keep you and your family in my prayers
Donnita – I am so sorry for you loss and I am thinking of you sweet friend. Praying for you and your whole family for healing during your time of loss.
Keeping all of you on my daily thoughts & prayers! I’m sorry I cannot be there today it hurts my heart. But I will always be there in your hearts. When I think of my Aunt Amy I think back to be a young girl and when she and my cousins would come visit I was so excited to see them thst when it came time for them to go back home I would just plead with my mom & dad to let me go to. And of course they did from time to time and today it still brings happy memories and smile to my face. Thank you my dear sweet Aunt Amy for being a part of my life. I ?? YOU!! May you Rest In Peace. We will see you again someday.
