My cousin lived a beautiful 90 years, and I will always cherish the memories I have of her. When I was in Steelton visiting my grandmom, she lived right around the corner. Her home was always a warm and welcoming place, and she always had cake, cookies, or something good for us to eat.
She was such a kind, sweet, and loving person, and I'm grateful that I had the chance to know and love her. Those simple childhood memories mean so much to me now and will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Rest peacefully, cousin. You lived a long and blessed life, and you will truly be missed. β€οΈππ½
