If it wasn´t for her I wouldn´t have my siblings, nieces or nephews.
I also wouldn´t know about my dad or grandparents. I will miss all the little things, talks we had , Christmas and birthday cards , her Powell family recording on her phone. 20 years wasn´t enough. She was an inspiration too, she was a Christian and wanted to help people, she wanted her grandchildren to know Jesus it didn´t matter if you were biological or not .
I wish I could be there for the service to hug everyone, but know my heart is with you this week. We love you , Michelle, Mike and Dylan.
