I was looking for you on Facebook hadn’t heard from you a long time. Now I found you. I am so sorry I wasn’t there for you. You had a rough life from the age 14 on. You were a sweet girl and lost your mom and sister too early. Leaving you with no one. No more suffering and pain. No more trouble with your kids, I do hope they get their lives together and have a better life than you. Love you forever.
