I haven't forgotten... - I was not even twenty when we made the transition from being Cousins to being FRIENDS! I remember all the good times that you and Harold and I had whenever I came back to town on leave... how you'd call up your siblings or we'd drop in on them, how we'd get together and talk, joke and laugh for hours about anything, everything... and nothing. It seemed like we had forever. We had so much fun and it was usually YOU that pulled it all together.
I never remember you being even mildly iratated with me You were never critical or judgemental. You were always smiling that beautiful smile that you inherited from your Mother. I haven't forgotten any of this and never will.
The thing that I always marveled at was that no matter how long we were apart, whenever we got together we picked up where we left off without missing a beat. If the HEREAFTER is anything like the place I believe it is, you've already received a warm and loving welcome and you're laughing and catching up on old times with our loved ones who crossed over before... and you'll be there, like always as the rest of us trickle in. We'll pick up where we left off like it was yesterday... and the good times will last forever. - from Maurice Wynn
I love You - Aunt "T" I am going to miss you so much, I haven't one bad memory about you, as i struggle to look through my tears as I type this message I am reminded of your warm smile when i would come see you and unk. You always made me feel so special it was just the way you would say hey Julian and hug me. Man aunt "T" you are so special to me. I always loved spending the night with you and uncle Harold in my youth. When me Mike and George would stay up all night and you would finally come down on us to go to bed you always did it with such love it was so cute! You now are with the father and many of your love ones that have gone before you. I will see you when I get there I know you will greet me with that loving embrace and that famous saying "hey Julian" Love always you nephew Julian Trathavon Arnold 12/06/09 - from Julian T. Arnold
