The first word that comes to mind when I think of my cousin is sweet. It wasn't an act, it's who she really is. Every time I ever seen her, spoke with her, she was always such a sweet heart. I will miss her saying, you know what I'm saying girl whenever she was telling me something important. I will always remember and cherish the times we spent together when we were just girls. Laughing and talking all through the night. I will cherish the memory of her dancing with me at my wedding. I know she is with Jesus and that is what brings me peace as I think of this sweet soul gone too soon. We will miss you LuLu. All my love to her and to those she has left behind who will miss her so much.
