As I look back on my childhood and reminisce on the times spent with my Cousin, I cant help but smile. You, my dear Cousin meant the world to so many and for that we all smile with love when we think of your mischievous but gentle smile. Its hard to believe that it will be 5 years on the 19th that you left this earth!
