R.I.P Auntie Glo

  Dear Auntie Glo,

          It seems like just yesterday when you would drop me off and pick me up from preschool and elementary school in your flashy mercedes benz, back when you would reward me with those huge chocolate bunnies if i was being a good girl, remember? I don't even know what else to say, or where to start because i'm sure i speak for the whole family when i say that we were caught by suprise.  I remember the feeling i got today when i was told you passed away, one minute i was busy planning another event with my friends then the next minute the bad news.. which leads me to one of the many things that you've taught me, the importance of family. I remember being at your house sometime last year you and my mom were talking and i was laying on your couch watching oprah, then i remember being interrupted after over hearing my mom telling you that im always out with my friends now "family will always be there for you no matter what you get yourself into, in your life time you'll see those people that you call friends walk out on you when you need them the most, so make sure you spend lots of time with your family because we'll love you more than your friends or boyfriends ever will." Haha i remember how you would always ask me if i had a boyfriend and tease me about it. You were always a very wise woman, auntie. Without you i wouldn't be here.. literally. Without you i'd be some fob girl living in the ghetto in the philippines lol so thank you for sponsoring my mom so she could live in vancouver, thank you for taking care of me when i was little, thank you for teaching me so many life lessons, thank you for helping shape me into the person that i am today, thank you for such an amazing family, thank you for the chocolate bunnies:) It's crazy though because it doesn't even feel like you're gone.. today at the prayer service it felt like you were sitting in the living room on your two cushions, it feels like this is all just some dream. Anyways.. I miss you, we all do.. you're in God's hands now auntie.. I'll see you in heaven. This ones for you auntie.

                                                                            Love Always,

                                                                                            

                                                                                                        Melissa

To the family... "Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye." Love you guys.
