This is so sad I worked with her at bed bath and beyond.prayers for family and friends.
To my most beautiful, precious cousin Jancy, who is not only my cousin but was my best friend. All the stories I could tell of all the fun stuff we would do every time I would come to Georgia for the summer and stay at aunt Lily Mae and uncle Curtis house. All the times all of us kids would sneak off and go swimming in the pond and get on the horses all the nights that me and you would creep out and go have our girls night and just enjoy ourselves snuggled up in the bed together, laughing and braiding each other‘s hair. And my granny Clara waking us up on the weekend so we could go out and pick berries so her and aunt Lily make and make cobbler.. And then I lost you for so many years and then I found you again and I felt like part of me was whole spending every day on FaceTime tell me about your days us laughing rekindling all the last times we had with each other and when you disappeared on everybody and popped up here at my house in Texas and spent so much time with me met everything to me have so many stories to tell, and I am at a loss because my heart is so heavy. I know you’re in a better place but you know I’ve always been that one cousin that I’ve always been your guard dog. I wish I could hug you again and I will hold, dear to my heart the wreath that you made me with the owls on it because you knew that was my favorite and all the beautiful elephants that you bought me . Jancy always know that I love you ! So the next time I hear funky cold Madena. I will always laugh and think about you so now that you’re in heaven, please tell my dad and all of our family members that I love them and please smile down on all of us. I know that you are loved more than you could ever imagine love always you’re Christie.
Jancy, I am happy that you were a part of my life and considered me family. When I told you I was proud of you, I was. When I told you I was disappointed in you, I was. When we prayed together, I know God was with us. When I say I am going to miss you, I am! You rest in peace now sweet lady and just know that I loved you, my friend!
