My heart is sad, as I know the family’s is also.
I loved my cousin very much and we became very close for several years. I will miss her veryery much. It was wonderful to see her at the recent family reunion. I know you hurt, and my prayers are for your comfort. She is with Jesus now and pain free. Heaven is smiling because they all have had a happy reunion with her. Can you just imagine?!
Our love to You Kay, Eddie, and those she held dearest to her heart.
