Message: Candy, I Love you cuz, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget ALL the great times we spent together at your Grandmother's house. (Aunt Bus), You, me Rita and Lavada! We had some great summers together in Smithfield. Your mom and my dad were best friend cousins. I will truly miss your mom just as I am missing my dad. I know the 2 of them are having a great reunion in heaven and that they are smiling down on us! Your mom called my dad almost every single day, I know it was hard on her losing her friend and cousin (Alvin). I am so thankful that when Rick and I were in Smithfield in April that I got a chance to spend time with cousin Mattie one last time and that Rick was able to fix her computer for her! We had a nice visit and I will treasure it forever! I will always be here for you! I Love You Always your cousin Debra Larregui (Blake).
