Tissy was the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. She was such a kind, loving, generous spirit. She taught me how to slow down and appreciate the beauty and miracles in life. She was such a blessing in my life it was my honor to know her. She was my best friend I will never forget her or all of the happy times and laughs we had together. I miss Tissy already! Prayers are with her family and friends

Tissy,
I can't believe you are gone so soon! You were the type of person to always put others first and you could always turn a frown upside down! It hurts to think that your bright and shiny soul will not be around to celebrate life with us anymore but through your life you have touched so many people that your spirit will be with us on our journeys always! I miss and love you very much.....keep a watch on us all and give all the others up there my love!

You were my friend, my mentor, my boss, and my first sponsor. You taught me so very much in the years I've known you. Your gentle spirit will always be present at St. Matthews House. You always loved the children the most and we are all Gods children. It was great seeing you the last time you were in town. I love and miss you very much. I will see you at the Great Meeting in the Sky!

Patricia was my oldest cousin and thus I was always a bit in awe of her as a kid. I saw her too few times growing up but was happy to get to know her a little as an adult. I am saddened by her passing so soon. My heartfelt condolences to Hank and Pam.
Love, Kim
