To My Family,
You may have lost a mother, sister, aunt,grandmother and cousin but you will never lose your memory of her. Keep her words, her smile, and her gentle touch in your memory and she will forever be with you. These thoughts will carry you through the good and bad days. She is forever with you and it is her time rest. Never forget the Love that she shared while here. My prayers are with the family.
