I will always remember picking up my beautiful mom, Carol Sorrell, who called me at the last minute one day and asked me if I would go to Hopocan Gardens that day with her because our beautiful Aunt Gerri at the last minute couldn’t go, and I said yes, and so I picked my mom up and drove us to Hopocan, where my super handsome cousin, who I thought was SOooooooo cool & sweet, and his super sweet, Very beautiful wife, Carolyn were up from Myrtle Beach because my beautiful aunt Jean, had just passed away not long before you guys came here to Ohio and you guys were having a celebration of life type thing, a memorial, get together type thing in honor of your mother-in-law, Carolyn. I SO LOVED being there with all of you and reconnecting with all of my beautiful cousins, it’s just such a shame that none of us basically never see each other except for when another member of our beautiful family passes on. At least we can all connect through FB But I’m very rarely on there anymore. I just want you all to know that I loved being with all of you that day and that I’ve felt really close to all of you ever since that day. Even know what was under sad circumstances that we were all there with my aunt Jean passing. It was nice reconnecting with all of you! What I love the most was how my handsome cousin, Bill, sat and talked with my beautiful mom and I for quite some time it was very interesting. I remember my mom was really kind it trying to hog them that day. 🤣😂 because she loves and misses him so much.
I never really knew any of you guys that well but I felt like I did get to know you are so much better that day, and that made me happy! I remember thinking how handsome and cool looking my cousin Bill was, is! He had just gotten a big tattoo on his neck. He was just very cool looking and very sweet! my beautiful sister Suzy had already passed on or I’m sure my mom would’ve asked her to go with her, but I was glad that she asked me but I’m certainly not glad that my sister Suzy at the store here because I love her dearly, but I was happy to see you guys even though it was under sad circumstances with the passing of my aunt.😥I just really want my beautiful cousin’s, Melody, who I never really even knew if she even liked me because I don’t know her very well, but I love her and I also love my beautiful cousin, Laura, and my super handsome cousin, Bill and his beautiful, sweet wife Caroline, who I also consider to be my cousin. Love you guys to pieces!! I’m SOooooooo Very Sorry for your whole beautiful family’s loss!😥💔 I want you all to know I have been praying nonstop for all of you, especially you, Carolyn, as I KNOW how In Love you 2 have ALWAYS been.🙏❤️❌⭕️ Continued love and prayers being sent to all of you at this very difficult time and always.🙏❤️ Love you all to pieces!!❤️❌⭕️
