Sending love, prayers and condolences to the family. The memories I cherish forever of my cousin. In 1973 she was the one who carried me home from school to find my mother dead ,1977 she was the one who carried me to college the first day. When I visited her what a great time we would always have,laughing and sharing so much. The wisdom and that spirit I will always cherish.
Auntie you will be missed. You will be forever in my heart. I love you.
