My dearest cousin, Words will never
express the pain and shock of
losing you. I pray God gives our
family the strength to endure. May
my younger cousins rest assured
knowing that you were awesome!
I'll always remember our summer
visits and that darn trampoline. Me,
bugging you with Hopeless. I kept
that song on repeat!! Our cousin
secrets, peach cobbler, “borrowing"
cousin Neal's car, your insane laugh, the look we’d give one another when we knew people were full of it. Too many to write down. I hope you’re free to finally visit NYC!!!
Love you forever.
