“Watching my 29 year old sister this last year battle this horrible disease hasn’t been easy. Anna was a fighter & still is. Lord please wrap your arms around her 2 babies & our family as the next couple of days will make this all a reality.”
“I’m so glad that you waited til I was home to take your last breath!” Thompson continued. “I would’ve loved for you to get to see me graduate college but I know you will forever cheer me on in heaven!”
