Dear Aunt Arlene,
You were the matriarch of our family since Aunt Yvonne's passing, and now the torch has been passed to Aunt Sarah. I am so grateful for our last conversation when God placed you on my heart, and I immediately called you. Hearing your voice brought the biggest smile to my face. Answering the questions you asked about how each family member was doing filled me with joy.
For many years, we talked about visiting you, but we could never make it happen. Now that youβre gone, I wish we could have spent more time together. You are with your higher power now, and I know they are loving you dearly.
Please know we are all here to support Tonya, Carl, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I love you and miss you dearly. Rest in paradise, my sweet auntie. You are and will forever be missed.
With love,
Your niece LaKisha
