"I have been surrounded by uncle Brad Vess, uncle David Franklin and aunt Sharon Franklin. I have four cousins, Eric and Jacob Vess and Andrew and Emily Franklin. I also had two adopted grandmas, Betty Bowles and Betty Klutz, who brought joy to my family and me.

"My family and I were over blessed with people who became family through love and friendship. God gave me "Little Sis my Aimee" Aimee Bowles. He added to this list Brenda and Cheryl Bogle, Hank and Shirley Burgess, Dawn Spradlin, Alysa Spradlin, Rita Hall, Ben Parts, Mike Sutliffe, Meghan Baker, Sharon Baker, Gary Sutliffe, and all of my Chamblissburg Rescue Squad Family. Squad 4 responds!! Love you guys.

"He made my list too numerous to mention everyone, but even if you're not in the paper, you are in my heart and I love you still, and I am grateful for each of you. You have all surrounded me in good times and bad. Our family had been blessed by T. G. Ayers as a friend, guide, and pastor with a great gift and heart. God blessed me with dedicated, skilled doctors who allowed me not to lose my battle with cancer. Cancer did not win, I did not lose that battle, I merely finished my work, accomplished my goals as God seen fit, and achieved my reward, knowing things end as God's perfect will, and how they are supposed to. God brought into my life an aunt, Doris McPeak. She has been a steady voice of love, reason, strength, and perspective through everything. Thanks, uncle Larry and Aunt Doris. Thanks Uncle Winston for the special handcrafted home for my ashes. I have been so loved and so blessed by the people in my life. Thank you Guy Michael Pullen for my last request and being there always. Don't be sad for me. I got to go to heaven. It has been my pleasure and joy here, so remember me for my skills, running calls, smiling, my love for family, my respect, joy, my loyalty, but do not remember me for sadness, cancer, or anything that is not blessed and happy. I will see you all again, and until then, you are all in my heart here in heaven. I love you, Lindsay. Be strong and stay that way untill I see you again."
