"Aunt Faye"

Although I only met my biggest brother-in-law once, I will always remember his enormous smile with the personality to match. I appreciate the sincerity Derrick had as we shared the "big brother to little sister's husband" talk. Rest assured, your little sis is in good hands. We will all miss you.

My dear nephew my heart is so broken because you have closed your eyes for the last time on this earth . No more will I hear love you Aunt Deb. You touched so many people on your life journey. I will miss you until we meet again love you Derrick.
