Hey Deangelo, I'm sorry I never truly got to know you, but I will be there for Aleta always in what ever way she needs me. Grandma O and Didi were there for me through my grief with Lina, so I can imagine what they are going through now. I prayed to my baby and told her to meet you, say hi to her for me and give her a big hug. We will see you both someday soon..
Luv, Elisha
