Aunt Cindi, where do I began. We have had some times over the years. We have shared so many laughs and good times along with some not so great, but we always made it through. You were the one who taught me how to put makeup on my eyes and blending it. (Which I still do to this day, when I wear it) lol. You would always make me beautiful safe lees through my life. From dream catchers to jewelry to jackets with glitter and fringe. You always made sure us girls were in line. If at anytime we heard a high pitch whistle, you better get your butt running. Especially her girls back in the day. That whistle meant business. You always had a way of making all of us feel good about ourselves and made us feel wanted. Thank you for everything you taught me and shared with me my whole life. I will forever be grateful to you and will miss you terribly. I love you and will see you again soon. Love Amberlina
