I remember when you and Im and David would come for a visit from New York and sit on the front Porch with your mother, Ms Hanfa and father, Mr. Abraham and the rest of the family. You and the adults would incourage David to run after to me to give me a kiss. I would run from David like crazey into Taylor street and pass Miss Nora's confectionary with David not far behind me. You thought that was so hilarious. I loved to hear the laughter of everyone on those days long ago. David, from that day forward was my playmate and a best friend.We were 8 or 9 years old. I came home from Dallas Texas for a visit after David died and paid you and Im a visit . What I recieved that day was one of the most special days of my life. After i offered my condolences, "You and Im" said that David was so happy to have me as a sister,and that David was my brother and best friend.I can't believe you three are gone.

I will always love and remember you.

May the Grace of God shine upon your family, and keep them safe from all hurt, harm, and danger.
