Rest in paradise sister, I'm still in shock. When I was told of your passing my mind went to playing ball for West Park, we had so much fun then you had Bimbos van and we went riding around and we each had a 5th of tequila between our legs, then when you and the kids came to live with me on Leighton Drive before you met & married Dan, or how we would always run into each other at Vons or I would see you walking home from work and ask if you wanted a ride you would say nope I'm going over Trisha to spend time with my granddaughter you loved that lil girl. I'm gonna miss you dearly Cuz but I will see you again that I do know. Much love sister.
