"My sincere condolences to the family of Letitia Ann Drury - May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling her many talents. It was not the Creator's purpose that mankind suffer (Romans 5:12). God has promised that a time will come when no one will say "I am sick" (Isaiah 33:24). In the Bible we are promised a resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). I hope you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3)."
In loving memory of
LETITIA ANN (TISHA) DRURY

Tributes
"Dear Cousins, I was very sorry to hear of Tisha's passing and wish I could have been there for her funeral. She was always one of the gang and it is sad to think no longer with us."
"I am so deeply sorry to hear of Tish's passing. She blessed my life thoroughly. We shared many happy times going to Lakenland, Presque Isle "the island", to many festivals, and especially memorable trip to Fayette Village. She thoroughly enjoyed every single moment that she was out and about. She was a joy and a blessing and her life will always be remembered by me. I truly believe that Tish's last breath here on Earth was her very first breath in heaven. Love in Christ, Tammy Rivard"
