I will always remember your Beautiful/ spunky style. You always looked so nice no matter where you went. I will miss your green chili as well. Most of all I will miss how loving and welcoming you always were to my mom no matter how much time had past or who was around You Always talked to her and welcomed her with open arms. My mom really enjoyed spending time and talking with you. Thank you for that auntie to me that shows integrity and true love and I will never forget that. I will also miss talking to you about all the cars you’ve owned, crazy we were just talking about that a month ago. Love and miss you always little John. 💯💕
