Wanda and I were first cousins - our dads were brothers. Growing up I looked up to Wanda. In our younger years everyone said we could pass for twins. When we grew up and started our own families we were out of touch for a while. When we got back together we had both had children and had coincidentally given them the same names! Shane and Kristi! I am sorry for your loss.

She was my classmate. We were very good friends and enjoyed each other’s company. Had lots of fun. I’m sorry. I’ll see you again some day.
