My dear sweet Auntie, one of the queens of my heart. I know deep in my heart and soul that you knew the Lord, and had personal relationship with him, this I know. Auntie God was ready, but I was not. You traded in the streets paved in asphalt, for the streets paved in gold, and you’re safe in his arms. I love you Auntie and you will live on in my heart and memories forever and always.
