You are in my prayers. To my Family. My heart is broken, but I know it will heal. My aunt DAVETTA had that kind of effect on me. Not only was she my โAuntโ but she became my โMotherโ when my mother Ernestine Gabriel passed on July 2023. She and mom was such a blessing to watch at church together. They loved each other, and we love them both. You know, god never makes mistakes. He makes life better, if you obey. And they did. So now they will continue to live on together, FOREVER ๐๐ผ. I learned so much from my aunt and Iโm going to miss her. But, I will surely see her again. Rest On Aunt DAVETTA. Iโm here to comfort my cousins. For however long necessary.. FAMILY FIRST,! FAMILY LAST, FAMILY ALWAYS ๐๐ผ๐ซโค๏ธ๐น๐๏ธ๐ฆ.
