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.
