    To Aunt Laverta: You were deeply loved and you will certainly be deeply missed. May God continue to keep you and hold you close because I will never forget you. Even though I had not visited you in a long while, it didn’t mean you weren’t on my mind. I wish you would have had the opportunity to meet my son, but I know your spirit will be with him. I love you and may you rest in peace.
