To Andre Tucker and Family, Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear. Let Heaven heal the sorrow you feel today and may your loving memories within your heart bring you comfort. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. May her memories keep you.
Love you,
Michael Fletcher and Family.
