My Mommas Sister, I appreciate her calling me when I was so sick. She told me Jesus would take care of me and he did. She went on about Jesus and how she loved him. I know she is in Heaven with my Mom celebrating. To all my Cousins, I wish I could come up but, my health does not permit it. Just know I am thinking of you all. Kevin, Beth, Hunter and Sawyer Myers.
