I grew up with Pookie and her siblings as a child since I was 4 or 5 years old until I was 15 or 16 years old. Every Single weekend I would stay over Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Eddie's house. My cousins and I would climb trees, play in the back yard, roam around Newtown Estates on our bikes, go to Church on Sundays, eat family dinners together and do it all over ago the next weekend.

You will be missed cuz! Rest in Heaven... 😘
