Hi family and friends My dear cousin born days a part same year, fun of laughter and always smiling, he truly loved his wife and kids and definitely his siblings , I’m not a horoscope type of person but what they say about cancers we love hard and will do anything for our family even if sometimes we may not feel like we get the love back! He invited me to church and I went. When I say we would have a time we had a time it made me rejoice when I would see him praising God! God delivered from the hands of the enemies he’s in your hands forever HalleluYah,and we are so grateful. We miss you already and will never forget you! Barbara I’m here praise is what we do, everytime I pray I will call out your name to our Heavenly Father your faith will be tested stay in prayer with your Family. Love you Barbara
