I am going miss you Cuz. We spent every summer together. Either you here in Boston, or me in Newbern. And even as little kids, running around with your two pet ducks. So much of our lives were spent with you. From, Graduating from high school, to getting married too. As we got older, we spent time on the phone more than anything. I wish I could have been there. I wish I could have had one more laugh with you. But I have the memories, I'll cherish forever. I love you Michelle. until we meet again, rest easy Cuz..
