Prayers for the family she sure does have two wonderful twins Stacy and Tracy. And some great grandchildren. I grew up around Morgan and Tracy. And go to school with Bree now. She sure will be missed
Prayers for strength and comfort during this most difficult time over the loss of such a wonderful person whom we will forever know as such a kind hearted woman.
As I sit here reading this, it is so unbelievable and sad.
I’ve known this family seems like forever and wish my sincere condolences & prayers to all.
