To my cousins,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom, she was a very special person to me so loving and fun. I remember when I lived with you how she used to play hopscotch with us. It makes me smile to think about those times with late night Movie with potato chips and coke.
Aunt Mattie always made me feel loved and wanted even with all you kids she took one more in to love and take care of. What a very special lady indeed. My heart my love and prayers are with you.
Your Cousin
