We Will Always Love You Rest Well

Titi Emily- you are a warrior and the very definition of Love. I can see why God called you to His presence. You fought well, served effortlessly and family stayed your number one priority. A true proverbs 31 woman. God is pleased. We will carry you in our hearts and memories- you will be missed beyond words. I am so grateful for all you did and are… and imagining life without your smile and kind concern and counsel… is tough. I am only comforted by the knowledge that to be absent in body is to present with the Lord. I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️
