It was a blessing and joy to have you as a cousin. Though it's a long time since we last saw each other you were a special person. To auntie Priscilla and the rest of the family take comfort in knowing Cina is in a better place with her maker. The grace of God is sufficent to carry you through this time. Cina is not lonely as she is with her uncle and cousins. Rest in peace Cina until we meet again. In you, God had given us a wonderful gift and we are left with fond memories. Love Jayne.

It all seemed like yesterday though days and plenty of them have gone by, Mary and I shared a handful of those days back in primary school. May those memories we knew of Mary be a warm embrace that brightens each day that goes by. God's blessings and grace rest with the bereaved family.
