At my Summer Picnic to celebrate end of cancer treatment

Thank you, Cuz, for all the great memories - and for always sharing the memorable moment of you rushing my mom to hospital when in labor to deliver me... I always enjoyed hearing that story from you and you always saying to my mom after telling story, "right, Tia?!" - and just for all the great memories in Bridgeport growing up. I will miss your hugs that we gave each other at family gatherings and hearing you greet me with "Hey Cuz!" and a warm hug. I know I will see you again... and Auntie Mary, Uncle Mike and our other loved ones... Love you, Cuz - Sincerely, Michelle
