Comments
I would like to thank everyone for their support to myself and my family during our difficult time. My Grandmother was an exceptional woman, she lived a good life. My grandmother became terminally ill only two days prior to her annual Las Vegas get-a-way. I would like to send a very special thank you to Libby Gray and Aunt Nikki "Revard" Lorenzo. Also, to the entire staff at Title VI. I must also mention how much it meant to me to have the Tinker family song played at the graveside services. Many Tinker family members traveled a great distance to attend the service and I thank all our local family and attendees for their generous hospitality. My grandmother went peacefully, as she knew that she would spend eternity with her first love "The Lord". I miss you Grandma, I hope that as you watch over me you are pleased and that I make you proud, I love you!
