I will never forget this beautiful little girl that brought so much happiness and joy to my home when I babysat for her. Always a big smile on her face and singing a song at the top of her voice. Walking down the aisle in Jimmy & Keri''s wedding with the bride and her dad! She knew that was her place that day and we loved it.
I pray for Gods comfort and strength for all her family, but especially for Michael and Ellen. What great parents you were. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this amazing child with my family and I. I will always treasure those memories. God Bless.

Dear Mike and Richard, I wish I had the words but I know there are none. You both know how important you are to me and my family and that we have you in our thoughts and prayers..

Please know your friends are always here.
I'm so glad I got the chance to know you Mattie...I will keep your family and friends in my prayers...rest in peace.
God bless you as you look down on us, until we joyfully meet again. We will keep a candle in our hearts to remind us of all you could have acheaved.
You will be missed so much by your family here in Louisiana.
