Sheena, Shanette, Dianne & Family,

God saw Ms. Mildred getting tired and a cure was not to be. So, He put His arms around her and whispered “come to me.” A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Cynthia was my lst cousin. Her dad was my uncle. I often thought of her, but didn't know how to contact her. Please contact me. I would really like to meet my cousins.
