In my cousin Tressa's passing there is pain but also there is solace in the fact your loved one is free of the pain and suffering.of the awful disease that took her. From her love of animals I can remember Twinkie the small Pomeranian that so filled the lives of Tressa and Mimi, her mother, when I was young and how he ruled the roost, as so many small dogs do, way back at a time when Briley Parkway ended in front of their house.
I say fly free from your earthbound body and pains to be greeted at heavens gate by Mimi, Big Mama and Grand Daddy to show you the glory of heaven as promised in the Lords Bible. Enjoy the remembrance of old times with them and rest assured that we will look forward to that day when we will see you all again.
Love,
Roger
Beloved Tressa, I feel amazingly fortunate and honored to have received such a priceless gift from you. I will always highly treasure this gift. The gift had nothing to do with money, gold, precious stones or wealth. The gift you gave me is much more valuable than that. Your gift to me was the opportunity to spend time with you on multiple occasions this past year and a half. We held hands and prayed together, talked about the Most High God and his Son Jesus and HIs great Grace, and the unfathomable joy in store for us in God’s Kingdom. I especially enjoyed talking to you about your mansion in the forest where you will be surrounded by Gods great love and all the animals for which you will be in charge of their care. I can only imagine the sweet smile on your face when you saw Jesus for the first time and how big your beautiful eyes got when Jesus took you by the hand and said "let me introduce you to someone"… “this is your brother” and I believe you recognized him as soon as you saw him, and then Jesus and your brother held your hand lead you to your mansion. I really wish I could have seen your face when you saw all the pets you had throughout your life waiting with excitement. But most of all, I would have loved to have seen your face when that great big tiger you’ve always wanted came up to you and gave you “tiger kisses”…I get a great big smile on my face when I think about what you will name the tiger.
Tressa, I believe if I could talk to you now the first thing you would say to me is: “Donnie, I’m not dead…I’ve just moved on to you Beginning”...
I love you Tressa and I will miss you greatly…and I thank God for the memories I have of our time together…A gift I Highly Treasure.

When life throws you lemons...then you make lemonade. Tressa kept her sense of humor and sense of hope "for just one more day" going for over a year. God knows when it's your time, and nothing we can do can will ever change that. She was a trooper til the end. I love you and will miss you terribly Tressa...... say hello to everyone in heaven for me. It's ME... your ride and grocery boy. Rickey
