Phaelyn,
I always thought of you as my cousin, even though technically, we were on different sides of the family. You were a wonderful friend growing up those many summers at Aunt Lori's. You made me feel like it was okay to be myself when it was hard to navigate my naive teenage understanding of the world. I will always love our friendship.
I hope heaven realizes how lucky they are to have you, because we all miss you like crazy down here.
