Much love from Georgia, keeping all of y'all in my thoughts in prayers. It's always way too soon and unexpected to lose someone of such great value, but it is shown that she lived a full and loving life due to her all of the beautiful family members listed.
I love you Uncle John, Aunt Mandi, Boo, Lacey, James, and Lilly. Y'all made her life full of love and happiness <3
