Aunt Sista words cannot express how I feel at this moment nor how much you meant to me. I have so many special memories with you and will cherish every single one of them. We spent many summers with you and all were during my birthday. You'd always make sure my day was special, inviting children in the neighborhood to share cake and ice cream with me. I cherish all the trips you took with me to skippers to buy lottery tickets and loved watching that big smile on your face when you had the winning ticket. You would always say don't forget me the next time you go up there. God doesn't give us more than we can bear. He decided it was time for you to take your place amongst the angels. Miss you dearly. RIP my angel 🙏🏽💜🕊️👼🏽

Every summer I would stay with you. You taught me how to sew. I made my outfits, including my prom gown. My first sewing machine was like yours, not exactly, but close 😊. Every year I looked forward to receiving a birthday card from you because I knew you sent me $2.00. I already miss you, but I know we'll still have those conversations. I love you Aunt Sister!❤️❤️

Sister was definitely one of gentle spirits. Always had an encouraging word for me and loved to talk to my mom all the time day or night. Mom would say when I called. I will call you back. I am talking to Sister. Those were the good old days. She will definitely be missed but her memories always cherished. Rest easy cousin. Cynthia Cooper-King and Family
