We had a special relationship; we had a special bond. We never really mentioned it…that’s how we got along. The last time that we spoke in time it turned into a fuss, but recently we mended that and shared that time was rough. You shared with me some special news that brought tears to my eyes…from miles away and until this day…you turned that to a smile. I know your in a special place with Mom Margaret, Dwayne and kin. Just know you left behind a whole bunch of kin/ friends who loved you till the end! You left us all with that great big smile and a laugh that will always stay…until we meet again.
