Kenny and family, I am so sorry for your loss.
She was 6 yrs old when I was born & 9 yrs old when Melissa came along she was always taking care of us, the best big sister always had our back. I always told her, showed her how much I loved her & I always told her how much I treasured our relationship and I would never trade it for anything in the world. She loved my daughter with everything she had & the two of them were very close, thank you Tiny for always loving me & Samantha and being someone who was always there for us, I’m not ready to say goodbye I don’t know if I ever could love you always Tiny xxxooo you have earned your way to heaven a long time ago
