To Tabitha's two little ones, we know you will miss your mom, but you will see her again. To Mike and Sherrie, my husband and I lost a daughter in this very same way. It is the hardest thing you will ever go through, but just take one day at a time and it will get a little easier. Waverly is a hometown where people stick together in times of tragedy. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask mitziwheeler2000@hotmail.com. I rode the school bus everyday with Tabitha throughout high school at Santa Fe and I know how precious she was. My family will pray for yours. Take care of those grandbabies and enjoy what Tabitha has left you. She will still be with you through them. Sincerely, Mitzi Dankenbring-Wheeler.
