Tifiany unfortunately I know the pain of this loss as well as a child now. I remember Cortney saying this years got to be a good year momma because we haven’t had a good year in a long time & I said I know baby we sure could use a good year . All of us could & honestly this has been the worst by far. We have been through some really hard tragedies. Im praying for us all oh and Paul throw a big extra hug to my baby girl Cortney for me & karslynn both. And tell her I need her strength & guidance really bad. Fly high & rest easy my friend..

Your girls here at Wendell’s Restaurant will forever love and miss y. Can’t believe you are really gone. Your smile was so infectious, and your jokes kept us in stitches. You had the best attitude in the worst of situations, and we are better people for having known you. I for one enjoyed being your “people”, and most of all your friend.

“He will wipe away every tear
from their eves,
Death will no longer exist;
grief, crying and pain will exist no longer,
for the previous things have passed away.”
