When my mother woke me up out my sleep and told me that Jeh & Jurni need me, I thought they did something they wasn't suppose to be doing but as time went on she told me that you had passed away. I thought she was lying! I KNOW YOUR WATCHING OVER YOUR TRIPLETS (MARTHA,JEHLYCYA&JURNI)! GOD took away an angel way to soon!
