Cousin Robert “Jr”, you will be missed dearly. You always had a genuine love for me every time I have seen you. I am going to miss you at family parties and reunions. I never corrected you on calling me Wanda (even though my name is Wauna). You were definitely Aunt Willie’s (my mom is named after) twin. Love you Cousin and prayers for our family during this time.
