I just want you all to know that Aunt Lil, will be very much missed by me. I enjoyed all of our talks that me and her shared, and the laughter we had. But, I believe she’s in a better place and at peace. And would love for us to get our lives in order and to serve the one that cares about our souls, and that is the one and only Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. But know that our hearts are with you and share in your grief. Please accept these words of comfort to help you through this sad time. I love you all and God Bless. Love Mechie & Tia
