Thinking back to my childhood and remembering all the great times we had. Driving around in that white impala listening and singing to music. We spent every summer together and I hold those memories in my heart forever. I will never forget watching that last sunrise with you. Now you can watch the sun rise and set every day. You are now at peace and can rest. You are a beautiful woman with a wonderful and kind heart and soul. You are loved and missed by so many. I love you Jean. Until I see you again ❤️
