A message to My sweet cousin "Linky": I bet you are dancing in heaven. I have fond memories of you riding your bike around Charleston with your great smile and friendly personality. So glad we have had our visits every time I got to Charleston. I will miss you. You taught me to do the best that you can in spite of adversity and hardship. This is your time now!!
Say hello to my Mom and Dad and all the other relatives whom I am sure were waiting to greet you at the Pearly Gates....
