To My Family,

Trust God who will never leave us nor forsake us. My heart was sadden to hear of the passing of Uncle Mumie. God is able to see us through this as he have in the days past and gone. I was so glad that we had our family reunion, we certainly can choose our friends, but we can't choose our family. My prayer is that we will continue to show and share our love for one another. Much love your niece and cousin
