SPELLING BEE Are the only two words I would say to my cousin to introduce myself and lift her spirits at the same time, Larsene would instantly shout my name and we both shout the words "spelling bee"! That's because she and I were the spelling bee champs in grade school. I'm her cousin Michael Jarman! Dear cousin, I love you and I will always remember the smile I brought to your face with this memory! Rest in peace until we meet again and you hear me shout: SPELLING BEE TO FIND YOU
