Words will not express the loss I feel in my heart. You were more than just a Cousin/Auntie you were my friend. It’s hard to sit back and watch God work sometimes but his work will be done. He picks certain flowers on certain days for certain reason. December 11,2022 he picked you his beautiful flower because He knows what best . It was time to rest. So good bye for now Rest In Peace. I will miss our jokes and your laughter and that beautiful smile . Tonya Monique Carter
