I’m sitting here writing but can’t stop crying my cousin Viola Charles has always been more than a cousin she has always been like a second grandmother to me I can remember every weekend spending nights at her house hanging out with my cousin,Nelson,Brandon,Kristin,Trella and Irvett and going on fishing trips. I could go on and on but she was so giving and loving to our entire family I will forever keep you in my heart.
Love
