I loved, loved, loved you! We laughed together like no one else I've ever known! You were the cousin I couldn't wait to visit. Thanksgiving was always a treat because we spent it together, even though we sat at the kids table in the kitchen, it was SO MUCH fun!!! Hide the button was our game of choice and we played it for hours when ever we got together. I remember the rec room very well as I searched every nook and cranny looking for that button. In later years, you came to my first wedding and gave my best friend a ride. You later married her and had 2 of the most beautiful children. You became my daughter, Darlene's godfather. When turmoil hit, you were there for me. You went shopping and brought me back 3 red elephants. I thought that was so sweet. I still have them, sitting in my room.I later moved to Connecticut. You traveled all the way here for Darlene's wedding. I think I was happiest to see you, there! We exchanged Christmas cards for years and even once included a button for old times sake. Of course, my regret is losing touch again. I did not know you were sick, I would have come for one more laugh hug, smile, memory. There will always be a spot in my heart that only you will fill. I know you are at peace and I will see you again. Maybe we can play. Love you, Garrance (my special name for you) Your cousin, Sue
