Sleep in Heavenly peace... I will always remember the endless love you showed me as a little girl and the laughs we had. That love has helped me overcome hatred and adversity as an adult and also taught me how to bestow that same wonderful feeling unto others. You will always hold a very special place in my heart from now until forever I look forward to seeing your sweet smiling face again one day. I love you, Terrelle
