My cousin, my friend. Words cannot describe the emptyness I feel now that your gone. There are so many things that we have done together that there hardly will be a moment that you won't be in my thoughts, going to craft shows or having them, going out to breakfast or lunch or stopping for an ice cream, or going to the summer concerts, it won't be the same. I know you are at peace and are happy because you are with your mom. Give Auntie Helen a hug and a kiss for me. Miss You ! With Love, Dorothy Ann
