I wish there was more time for me to say goodbye. Over the years you taught me so much. Watching you in action gave me hope for my life somehow. Your nieces that you loved and adored them all. I will miss being able to pick up the phone just to call you. Hearing your voice. Rest in Peace until we meet again

You will truly be missed by every life you encountered. No one I know has given more of themselves toward the happiness of others. I love you cousin. Rest peacefully in Heaven. Cynthia
