My dear cousin Love was more like an uncle to me. He always reminded me of how he and my mother Tommie Jean were so close when they were babies. I spent many summers in Knoxville with cousins Love and Rose and their 7 children. I made number 8, but they always made me feel welcomed. Even as I grew older he still treated me like one of his own. I will miss talking to him but will always remember the love he showed me throughout my life. His love and dedication to family will live on! Annette Walker
