My sincere condolences to my Aunt and cousins during this very difficult time. Praying strength, comfort and peace. My mind goes back to the days of playing basketball on George St, Cedar St and Stanley White. I remember the two of us talking about joining the military after high school. Always enjoyed our talks and friendship, even though we were close cousins. So much is going through my mind right now. Family. Cuz
