Where do I start? Growing up you were like my 2nd mom. You gave us the birds and bees talk, you gave us advice we sometimes needed but didn't want to hear. I never had to knock when I came over and I knew you were always there. I will forever treasuer the times spent at your house and am very thankful your family is a part of my life. I will forever love you and miss you. One of your many extended kids...
