Ronnie, nobody could read my mind like you. We would look at each other and burst out with laughter. You taught me how to enjoy life. You taught me how to be a young lady. I thank you for that! You were always there for me. Although we were cousins, you were my big sister. We will see each other again. Until that time, I love you. RIP "Big Red"
