Jeanie,
I was greatly saddened to hear about Takoja Krissy. You are in my
prayers and thoughts.
Though she lived a short time upon this earth, it sounds like she has touched alot of lives and
cheered people up. I will always
remember as a little girl, I did
tell Galen that she has gone home to the Lord. I truly believe he hears and knows what is going on
around him.
Love and hugs,
Wini
