Dear Cuz, I just found out about the guest book today because, sadly, my Jonnie has one too. I want to tell you how very much I love you and regret that I didn't make the time to see each other more often once we were adults. We shared so much growing up (even though your dad thought I was a bad influence on you!). We had such fun as kids at the picnics, trick or treating, the sleepovers, etc... I taught you how to put on make up! You honored me by choosing me as the maid of honor at your wedding and Godmother to two of your children. I cherish the memories I have of you. You were one of the kindest, loving people I've ever known. I hope you were there to greet my beautiful baby boy when he joined you in heaven on Monday. Take care of him for me. With you, I know he is in good hands. Love, Donna
