In that bittersweet moment your angel found her wings. To my dear Uncle George and all my cousins. I am so very sorry for your loss. With the great loss and sadness I feel today I can not even imagine your grief. I thank God and all of you for letting me share my life with this incredible Aunt. You were her everything and she loved you all so much. May the love that she taught you, sustain you during this difficult time. XOXO
It started out as just a hug and grew into a kiss,
A friendship that had blossomed up to more than I could wish,
You were my shining star at night you help me find my way,
You are my inspiration directing me each day,
See when I fall and need a hand you always pick me up,
And when I cry and need a friend you’re there no matter what,
I wish I were just like you strong hearted, brave and sweet,
I’m glad I have a friend like you, to make my life complete.
