    So sorry for everyone’s loss of such an amazing, awesome person. When I would hear her name, her smile would always come to mind. I was out of town, sending prayers for all family & friends. May the healing be swift and the memories long and sweet.

    I am so sad, I spent almost every summer with my Uncle Jimmie and Aunt Kathy. I will never forget how loving and hilarious she was. I learned so much from being with them. I will always be grateful for the love she gave to me. She will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed. She was like another mother to me. So sorry I couldn’t make it for her service. Love always and forever,
    “Nikki” Leah Whittington

    Elisha,

    I cannot image what you must be feeling. My love and prayers are with you and the family during this time of loss. I know that only God and time will bring comfort and help in the healing process. Your dedication to your mom during these past few weeks is nothing short of amazing. I pray for strength for you and your family. Please know you are so loved and many prayers are going up for y'all. May the peace of God that passes ALL understanding fill your heart and mind as you say your temporary "good-bye".
    Love you,

    Robin Rockco-Alford
