One memory that I will always remember is when Mrs. Heyward pass and Keith made his way to our home and fell in my Mom arms sobbing bitterly. He told me that I had to share my Mom with him since his passed away. I agreed so does that make me his older Sister. Love and miss you my Brother, Irene Coaxum.
