My prayers are with the children and grandchildren of my cousin, Black. She was a dear cousin who loved her children and grandchildren dearly. She also loved her other family members. I have fond memories of her. Her beautiful smile would light up a room. She was a loyal and supportive cousin who was always there to support us during our times of sorrow. Please know, that I will be there to support you during your time of sorrow. Black will truly be missed from our family circle. Love,
First Cousin
