I can't believe you are gone my dear cousin. It breaks my heart to know that I'll never get to see you, joke around with you, hear your laugh or your beautiful voice sing again. You will always have a special place in my heart. You were truly one of a kind and can never be replaced. I always thought the world of you and now a part of my world has been destroyed but I know you are in a better place now. I love you cousin. Rest easy❤
