We rode every ride and tried to forget you had to leave. All our friend's were with us and what a good time we had. I think about you every day and how much I miss you. You never got the chance to marry and have children. I have three children and five grandchildren. Wish you were here to play and enjoy them with me. You are always the angel over my shoulder. My favorite cousin, also my best friend. Love you still. Melinda Simpson.
