my best friend have been texting and calling I knew something was wrong I will love and miss you forever love you sis 

Roy, Rudy, Tammie, Andre, Brittnee, Cecilia,

My prayers are with you all.  I shall never forget Pat's spitfire courage as she faced many challenges during her lifetime.  I shall never forget her words of inspiration sent to us all to encourage us to push through, to trust God.  I shall never forget her love for you all.    
I just wanted to post this picture of Tony & Pat.  They loved each other sooo much.  And, I had the privilege of loving them both.  Now  they are together in heaven.
Blessings & love to you
Auntie Pat

We met in 1974, 46 years ago in Oceanside, CA. We instantly became friends. Even when I moved away twice, going back to CA meant we would see each other again, no matter how far "I" had to drive. :-) We were young  and foolish, but we had each other's back. I hurt, you hurt, you cried, I cried, I needed a Valium you needed a Valium. We were in our twenties and life seemed to have no end, but God had a plan for our lives. We both gave our lives to Christ about the same time and everything but our loving friendship changed. I loved getting your text messages, and hearing about how the Lord was using you. I do believe you became more creative the older you grew, but you could not become more loving. When I get to heaven I know our conversation will be as though we were never apart, just like they were down here.  Your Friend I Remain, Wil

Carolyn was my manager at UCSD, and my friend. When I decided to go to school she was there, pushing me when I wanted to quit. She is the reason I completed school. Almost 2yrs ago, when my mother passed away,  she called me twice a week for the first 6 months, then once a week for the next 3 months until she thought I was spiritually okay enough to pray my way through my pain.   She walked me through it . Always ending in "I love you Jackie" In recent months the calls came less,  but the text came just checking on me. Momma Reese I will miss you more than 💔 I can put into words. Knowing you are with the Lord and no longer suffering is what gives me cause  to smile through my tears. Knowing how much you loved the Lord and how much he loves you, and that you are dancing in jubilation in heaven, with my Mother, I know you ladies are looking down on many. So glad I got to thank you and build our bond the way we did. You will be missed but never forgotten. In my heart forever. 

MY CONDOLENCES  TO THE FAMILY . I KNOW HER ABSENCE LEAVES A VOID. SHE LOVED YOU ALL FIERCELY AND WITH HER WHOLE HEART.    KNOW OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. STENGTH AND PEACE IS MY PRAYER FOR YOU ALL.

Love you Lady.
