To my beautiful cousin. You're smile was the light that guided my path, and lightened it when it was dark. Although your life was cut short, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about your beautiful, happy, smiling face. Everything you did was just a work of art, and it's sad to see you gone. But everyone is so happy your not hurting anymore. I love you my baby girl, ill see you soon.
