    I am so sorry for the loss of our cousin. We have another void and she will be truly remembered by her laugh, cheerful attitude, and upbeat spirit. She always kept it real and never allowed anyone to feel as if they were a stranger. So sorry I could not be a part of her home going. My prayers are with the family during this tough time.
