Not sure what to say?





I remember watching my Auntie Mary putting on her makeup. I was 8 years old standing behind her following her every move. I was so intrigued with how beautiful she would make her face. I wanted to be just like her. I watched how she took care of her Grandchildren. She was as awesome Woman.
