You were much too young to go through the challenges you did cousin. You dealt with a lot in recent years and I'm sorry for the struggles you had to endure. The world was a better place with you in it and I'm selfishly glad that you moved back from Georgia so that we had a chance to reconnect. Give hugs to the rest of the Hamlin family who greeted you and I pray we are all together again one day in a better place for another family reunion. Love you.
