Oh sally you were not a very loud little girl. I babysat for you your sister Judy and Shirley. I lived with you guys off and on most of my pre teen and teen years. I enjoyed growing up with you. You always had the cutest smile. As you grew, you always tried to please people. We kinda grew apart after I went to high school. But then it was my pleasure to meet you again on the side of the road at a rest stop on our way to aunt Joyce’s house . It was so sweet and sad. So cousin you were a blessing in my life. Rest In Peace
