I haven't been the same since I heard about this. Family,God will not put more on us than we can bear. Rest my friend.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in God's arms.. sending up prayer for Strength
I don't have words to say that will bring my friend back. I feel your pain. Tam, Keria, and Dee you all were her pride and joy and she loved you more than you will ever know. There has never been a time she didn't mention yall in our conversation. There was never a dual day here at Eastside because she was going to say something to make us laugh. I will cherish the memories I have of her in my heart. I pray that God gives you the strength to go through this storm knowing the sun will shine again. Much love, Gwen Harve Brown
