Bobby and Family,
You all have been in our prayers these last few months, and now our deepest sympathies. Tish was such a wonderful family oriented woman who had such a giving and kind heart to all. We all know how she loved her children and grandchildren…. the light of her life. I will treasure our time when you all visited us with Aunt Mary for the weekend, and when you came in for Anthony and Kristy’s wedding. I got to know her so much better,how caring and loving she was to Aunt Mary, and how excited that she found love again in you.
We will miss her very much.
God has made her new again…she is at peace. We loved her but God loved her more.
We love you cousin
Bobby,
