It is with deep regret that I will not be able to attend your funeral my dear cousin. We were very close growing up but because of our dissimilar path in life, we became distant. Now that you are gone all I can think of is your energetic personality, and the silly times me, you and Shanthi enjoyed as kids. I have the comfort of knowing that you won't have to suffer anymore and that you're at peace along side with your mother and father. For the rest of my family, I expressed my deepest condolences and I'm here for you all if you need me. Be blessed!

"Sharifa",

I will miss calling you that... I know you hated it! It deeply saddens me that you left this life so young, but I know you are now in a better place with your Mom and Dad. Give my love to Uncle Ernie... you shall be sorely missed. Your little cousin, Brittany.

This is so hard for me to write. We were second cousins who only saw each other during family gathering, weddings and funerals but I always keep you in my prayers. It saddens me that I can't be there for your homegoing. I will miss your smile and your laugh. I find comfort in knowing you are with your mother and sickness will bother you no more. Sharmone my prayers are with you as well. Please watch over the kids and God will watch over you. It breaks my heart that I can't be there for my family at this time but I'm always just a phone call away. Love always Nesha
