Shanle cousins- so sorry for your loss. May your knowledge in the fact that he is with Rosabel in heaven be a comfort to you. I have wonderful memories of sitting on the front porch of your parents' home and hearing stories of your childhood and grandma's childhood. I am thankful and blessed to have wonderful memories and to have felt special to him. Prayers to your family!!!! XO
