It saddens me to think that a part of my dad's family has left this earth as I was just getting to know you, my fathers sister who because of miles that separated us I never got to meet as an adult, I thank god that we had this short time to have conversations on Facebook and your sence of humor so reminded me of my dad! You are amongst a lot of wonderful people in heaven and you are with your soulmate dancing and having fun, may you watch over your family here on earth and wrap your loving arms around my cousin Shelly and comfort her in this trying times.
