Abbe my heart breaks for the loss so many feel with your departure from this life. I know you will be here in spirit to watch over Gloria, Joel n Javon.

Our lives shared many things, Joel, Javon, Ashley, our grandson, Joell, and Damian n Donovan and of course, Savannah. We also have an intense love of plants. My plan is to choose a tree, after consulting Gloria and Joel to plant as a constant memory of your life on this earth. Watch over your boys, n Ashley n Gloria, as I know you will.

Aunt Gloria and family. I am so sorry for the loss of Abbe. A lot of miles have separated us throughout the years, but I have many fun memories with my dear cousin. I can still hear her laughing at me when she was trying to teach me how to crack open crab legs. RIP dear cousin you are now at peace. Make sure to say hi to Al and my Father. Love you Aunt Gloria!
