OJ was my sister cousin for life. She still is and I cant say I am happy that she is gone too soon but she is with her dad again which makes me happy and sad that I cant have her in my arms smiling. I loved having our fun family game night on holidays or just Sundays. She was so bright and happy she made me laugh and lose the game.
