I am Boo Boo cousin patricia feggins hockaday and I grew up with her all my life. When she was around I never had to worry bc she would have my back if I needed her. We spent many days and nights as little kids together along with most of the other girls too. We had fun back then, we played hard and we fought too. I remember when she first got a boyfriend won't call Billy's name but she brought him to our house so she could introduce him to my grandmother she was so happy. U will b missed and I am so glad I did get to see u last year it did my heart good to see ur smile. Rest In Peace my friend.
