Hey Cuzin, so sorry I couldn't make it home. I love you and we have so many memories. Oh my goodness gracious do we ever my daughter Jasmine you named Jasmine LaRae your middle name or one of your middle names you chose and it was actually hilarious. Her dad wanted to name her Jayla something and he was like absolutely not. We're not name her that ugly ass name sometimes why always good but we made the best of them not I don't know, but girl we've had so many so many good time. Good bad or between we've laughed together, cried together. I remember the one time we went over to Camp Hill shopping mall and I couldn't figure out how to get off the parking lot girl. It was early in the morning drunk as hell and we needed some money. He was like this drive straight and that's what we did up over the curves across the bridge and back home to sell those those leather coats and that poor sales girl, she didn't know what to do. All you said Cuzn do you want the knife or the maze? I was tripping it was raining and the store had just open. Wanna many funny things I can remember my mom I'm saying y'all better stay at the mall and I remember you saying here aunt Jean I got this for you and she'd be happy as hell. It really broke my heart and sad in me to know that you were gone, but I find Comfort, in knowing ythat you're no longer in pain. You're no longer suffering. I love love love you always Cuzin always.
