ERYNNE CHRISTIAN
I love you so so so so so so much, Mommy. I know you’re going to be watching over us but I’m still going to miss seeing your beautiful face and hearing your voice. So many people are telling me we look alike, Mom! I guess they were right all these years. We never saw the resemblance but I’m starting to think the people are right this time. (: Life isn’t going to be the same without you, but I’ll see you again. This isn’t the end for us. Tell everyone hi for me. I love you. Always.

Lissa, you will truly be missed! You were such a joy and a light to our family! You were my niece, my sister and my daughter, all in one! I thank God for giving you to us for forty-six years! You left a legacy here in your children! You have joined the host of heaven! Home at last! Your last words to me were, “I will see you, when you get home”! When my time of service is up, I will!
