Most Recent Reflection
View all 33 ReflectionsI was very young, only 10 when you passed away. I often thought of why you were chosen as my Godfather. I asked my mother one day and she said you were incredibly sweet and kind and loving to a fault, but black and white when it came to right and wrong. What a nice way of saying one is well balanced. I always keep you in my prayers may you Rest In Peace with my sister, who like you, left us too soon.
