Girl you would always start to say, follow by a smile before finishing. You want you fish hard or soft? Sitting at your side as you so skillfully prepared rich savory favor. Then later that older cuz check of life inventory. Then you tell mama everything. I knew I could always talk to you. Reflecting is so touching. May your family embrace each other and hold on. Each gaze is a part of you. May the Lord strengthen and comfort each. 💕 Darlene
