I’m am deeply saddened by the loss of my cousin. She will forever be in my heart. As a teenager, my summers spent on Hunter street were some of the greatest memories of my life! Carol and Tonya would fill my days with fun and nonstop shenanigans! My love goes out to my family and knowing that “To be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD”, shall give us faith that we shall meet again. Love, Minister Belinda “Linda” Anderson

You always made me laugh. I first met you when you were carrying Luke, when my brother first introduced us to his wife. We shared many stories sleeping in the same bedroom as Luke continued to grow inside of you. And when he arrived the hospital wanted to keep him. You were not going to leave that hospital without him. You waited too long for that moment to be without him one minute. You took him home and cherished him like a new jewel you just couldn’t atop looking at. Since then there has been many more children and with them many life changes and challenges. But, through it all, you were my sister not only in law, but in love. I will always cherish the good times, will always miss your laugh, and mostly that beautiful smile. Sleep well sister~
