My sweet friend I will always cherish the wonderful memories of the times we shared together laughing, crying, and just being there for each other. Your sweet spirit never shined brighter than it did in the last two years. You carried yourself with such grace in the midst of the storm you were going through. Blake was so fortunate to have you as his nanny and get to spend precious time with you, you poured your heart and soul into caring for him. God knows Blake was your main concern about leaving and I know that he will watch over him and he will wipe all the tears from your eyes. How blessed I was to know you. May you rest safely in the arms of Jesus, free from worry and care. Love and prayers to Mary, Jarrod, Karenda, David, Blake, Jackson, Kinsley, and Callie.
Karenda, I am so sorry to hear of your mother passing away. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. She loved you and those grandbabies more then life it self. You take care and God Bless. You have my deepest sympathy. Michael Duncan

Oh how sweet heaven is going to be!! I have so many wonderful memories of us as teenagers at PCHS. The things we got into, my oh my!! All the times we’ve shared in these last years talking about the Lord. I can’t wait to see you again in heaven! You fought the fight well, my precious friend. I know our Lord will say to you “Well done, My good and faithful servant”. I pray your family will have the great peace that can only come from the Lord in knowing that you are finally HOME with Him!!
