    Shirley, Yvonne and Laverne,
    What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. You may not understand why he left this earth, or why he left before you were ready to say goodbye, but little by little you begin to remember not just that he died but that he lived. And that his life gave you memories too beautiful to forget. I will continue to lift all of you in prayer. Love – Cousin Khadijah
