My Aunt Reggie was so adorable. We used to go over to her house when we were kids. The cousins would play in the cemetery which was next to her house but I wouldn’t go because I was too scared. I’m glad I got to go to breakfast with her and my dad in the last few years. To all the cousins, I’m thinking of you and sending my sympathies!
