I lost a cousin last week. One of my best friends. We spent so much time together growing up that we were more like sisters. We got our first perms together and looked like curly locks. Went through the Elvis fad in the 50’s. In high school we attended different schools but I was always pulling for both teams except when we played each other. We went to church together at Friendship Baptist Church on Old 53 HWY in Rome, GA. After we finished school, I moved to Calhoun and married. She married and held various jobs until she retired.
Family reunions were a time to catch up and then we started losing cousins. Seem like our bond was closer then. Lost so many in the family and their just wasn’t enough time together.
She was sick on and off for most of her life but she was a survivor and fought each one with her faith in GOD. But then the Lord called and she answered.
Rest in peace Diane and I will see you again one day soon. Give my mom a hug for me also aunt Totsie, Josephine, Sybil, Doris and Aline.
I LOVE YOU
