Yesterday

Aunt Barbara I'm filled with sadness to see you go so soon, I know you are up in Heaven now with no worries and that makes me feel better because I know you deserve it. I will miss the infectious bright smile and you saying to me "HEY BIG MAN" if you can tell my dad James Jr. His son said hey ! We will all miss you very much.

My dear sweet Sister, you are surely missed down here.. My heart is broken by losing you, and part of me went with you.. You were such a bright light in whatever space you walked into, and your light will forever shine in my heart... You always had a beautiful smile, that I will always remember.. Rest In Heaven with the Angels..
