Dear Cousins,
As difficult as it is at this time, find consolation in the many memories created over the years. I can recall so many visits from him while growing up. Remember his kind and generous spirit and strive to be as impactful as he was during his lifetime.
Know that he stayed the course and finished his earthly journey. He is now resting peacefully.
Our most sincere condolences
Cousin Delilah (Dee) and LC
