To Aunt Julie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you, if you need me I'm always a call away. I am going to miss my cousin Warren, he was like a brother to me than a cousin. He always made me laugh,and he was just a joy to be with. I am so glad I got to spend last mothers day with him in my back yard. We had so much fun along with my sister Elaine. They are both in heaven, laughing and enjoying one another along with the other loved ones that has past on. Warren will be watching over you Aunt Julie, just remember his big pretty smile. "Weeping may endure for a night but joyeth comes in the morning." Warren is in a better place now.

Love niece (Pal)

To my Cousin Tina and the rest of the Family;

At a time when words are so hard to find. Please know that you are loved and cared for by many and you are in my thoughts and prayers. When you feel all hope is gone... just ask GOD to grant you the serenity to accept those things you can not change, courage to change those things that you can, and wisdom to know the difference.
