Joey and Missy,We understand.So sorry to hear of your loss.
I`m so sorry to hear of this sad news. We were classmates and long time friend. She was one of those special friends that you are always glad to see and talk with even if it`s just for a moment. I saw her a few weeks ago in Food Lion and she was in hurry so I didn`t stop her but I noticed she was wearing a wig and I kept thinking I need to call her or go in the drug store, and I didn`t, now I`m so sorry I didn`t. When your heart hurts just look up because that`s where she is right there with God. Missy and Joey I knew you when you were little. My prayers and blessing are with you all.
Missy and Joey – I just wanted each of you to know that you and in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a wonderful woman and will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.Jay, Ellen, Owen and Zander Scott
