What a beautiful obituary for a wonderful woman. I’m so sorry for your loss Tami, Tera and family.
You always treated me with love never seeing any blemish. I thank you for the instructions you gave me because I grasped them and carried them with me. "WoW what a strong woman", is what I would say to myself. Your light will be truly missed.
Thank You Mrs. Nixon
