Neecy and I were always together. I remember riding the bus to the mall. We would either be at her house or mine. She would go with my family on vacations to amusement parks and movies. She was the sister I never had. I had been asking about her when we had the 25th reunion. Your family was like my 2nd home. May God be your strength from day to day. She will be missed and always in our hearts.
