Prayers for comfort for the family and friends of this wonderful woman. I am going to miss her bunches so I know others will also. Such a spunky and cheerful person and a great friend.
To the beautiful lady that has been my 2nd mother for the last 15 years. Your soul and spirit was was so pure. Not a mean word ever came from your mouth nor heart. I always told Christy that you were an angel sent from heaven. Thank you for loving me all these years (LADY). You get the joke.
You & all your family have been & are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you dearly.
We love Alie so much. We have had so many great times with her and she will be missed! I have no doubt she has moved to a better place where she is loving and being loved by everyone and everything she touches. I also have no doubt she is “Getting ready to get busy” while thinking about all of us here.
Until we meet again, Alie. Much love!
