Mom and I will certainly miss Aunt Cleo. We will miss her comforting visits and her shy-like smile. What a blessing to have had her in our lives. As a teenager, I would babysit Jacqui and Leon and every other day I would find them coming from Aunt Cleo's with a grapefruit or a handful of candy. She loved the kids! God has called home a special Angel!! Family, be at peace for she is in God's house.
