    My Auntie Lucille has now completed the last piece of the puzzle in Heaven!
    All of the siblings have now made their way home and rejoicing together with their parents.
    I will always treasure the memories we’d created at our 1st meeting, along with our pics.
    Cousins… Be strong and comfort each other during this time.
    May God Bless her and the beautiful family she had to leave behind.
