In Loving Memory of Sharon "Ma" Kressler

Our Ma didn't deserve this. Please help our family through these sudden, tragic times. Any and all help is gratefully appreciated, so that we maygive her the beautiful send off that she so rightfully deserves. Still can’t believe this holiday season was the way it was. This is not how Christmas and New Years is supposed to be. Or Presley’s birthday. But Mom, I know you held on for these past couple weeks so you could be here with us. The signs have been all around that you and your beautiful spirit are still here with us. And I know every year from here on out, you’ll be at the top of everyone’s tree in the family. Because now you’re our angel. Just know, your little Granddaughter Presley Pumpkin Spice waves goodnight and blows kisses at your photos every single day and night. We love you, Ma. She loves you, Grams. Forever. ❤️♾
