It's been a year without you sis; not a day goes by that mom and I don't think about you. I'm trying to make peace with your loss, but I miss your voice and friendship. We both loved our daily talks. You're an angel that was taken too soon. I love you.

I can't begin to contemplate how this loss feels because to me it's still so surreal. Like it's happening to someone other than Andrea and the family. I enjoyed every moment of visiting with Treasure. She was a beautiful soul. A beautiful woman. She will be greatly missed and every memory treasured.

My deepest sympathies go out to Treasure's family . Treasure was just as her name described her "Treasure " . My daughters and I will truly miss her and we will always think of her , when showing rabbits she was a blessing to have as a friend. Prayers for her family , Rebecca , Montana, and Fallon Wasson

The obituary doesn't mention that Treasure was a skilled beautician. I was the grateful recipient of many great haircuts from her. Sitting in her chair at the beauty shop was like going to a therapy session; she was an understanding listener, always full of encouragement.
I am convinced that Treasure saved the life of our dog, Tyke. He'd been seriously hurt in a dog fight and we went to Treasure for advice. She shared some penicillin from her supply for her horses and showed us how to do the injections. Tyke perked right up.
Treasure's name is the perfect description of her.
We send our love to the family.
