Swasszee, I fondly remember the many times you spent the night at our house and our times playing together growing up. You were always the "good" cousin among many of us. You truly had a genuinely sweet and caring spirit about you from the time you were a little girl. Though we may never know why God takes some before their time; the heavens have truly gained an angel in you! Rest in Peace sweetie. Your cousin, Nicole.
