I have a lot of memories growing up. One that stands out the most is riding the school bus together. She was a senior and I was in kindergarten. We sat in the same sit together. And the there was a song that played a lot it was Shimy Shimy cocopop. She always sang it as Timmy Timmy cocopop. Rest in peace Antie
