December 3, 2021 at 8:15 amI miss you so much cousin. I texted you and called you before learning that you had transitioned. My heart aches and I’m still in disbelief. I was suppose to come and visit. We made plans and it hurts that I won’t get to see you again. We have had so many great times as teenagers, and great times and conversations as adults. I’m happy I got the chance to see you back in the summer but also hurt for not realizing it was the last time. Loleta, I love you you will forever be missed. Your cousin Cindy
