I used to live on Dean Street as a child and have fond memories playing with Betty and Brenda. My name is Charlie everyone called me Charlie Mae. We had so much fun playing as children and even though we moved away and never saw each other again. I pray that I can endure to the end so I can see her in Paradise. So sleep my sister. Your loved ones can take comfort knowing they can have the chance to see you again.
