Sincerest Condolences and Love, As Sis Sylvia would call me Min Cook and her doing that would let me know we was getting ready to do something we both knew better than doing but we would say aint no fun in behaving from the house to the church and all in between we laughed joked around and cut the fool and all that good stuff. Thanks be to God for the memories even down to her and i calling each other with jokes of laughter in hard times like asking if her refrigerator was running and she would say yes and i would say she better go catch it.Then she would laugh as i would to cause we knew what we meant even when others didnt. Glory be to God she has done hers now its live life even the more to the fullest God style. Much Luv & Respect To: Mr. Ronnie, Nicki , Natasha, Zacariah all the family! God Bless and Keep you all now and continually.
