We were friends for years on and off...but no matter what...you could always make me smile. I'm heart broken that we hadn't got together in so long. You were a good hearted person that loved her family.

My heart goes out to your entire family, Romans 15:13 promises that God gives us hope and peace, may He comfort you with his love and tender mercy in this difficult time (2 Cor 1:2-4).

Jenna and Devon I am so sorry to hear about your mama. I know how much you meant you to her because she told anyone listening. She lived for her friends and family. She may not be able to that any more but her love for you lives on in the both of you. As well as her grandkids. I'm praying for Fay and for you all. I'm so sorry kids.

She always had such a beautiful smile. I will always remember her laugh. She was a grade behind me in high school and we liked the same boys, but through it all we remained friends. Glad we reconnected years later on Facebook. God bless her family. Tammy Pannell (Fields).
