Chantice was one the most loving and caring people i have ever met. Even though we lived miles apart, when ever our familes were near, we always had fun. She was always smiling and always laughing, and she just had that aura that made you want to smile and laugh too. Chantice, You're a great cousin and friend, and you'll always be in my heart and when i get to see you again we'll be able to laugh and smile again...I love you
