    I have so many wonderful memories of you while growing up. There was always so much laughter . At one time you stayed at mom’s for awhile and it was never boring 😂
    Mom enjoyed all of the phone conversations between the two of you. I’m glad you kept in touch .
    Have a blast with everyone that is with you! You are surrounded by so much .
    Love to you until I see you again ❤️
