    I always looked forward to seeing you both at my sales… The highlight was when Brian actually bought something. He will be missed, especially by his family of course, and I can see that he had a lot of friends.
    I look forward to seeing you soon Lavina so we can both share a hug. Hugs and Love to you??

    Keeping it simple, as you would want it, you lived right. You gave all, you loved my Aunt Lavina with the deepest respect as she loves you to eternity. You fly high over her now, she's your Angel here on Earth as you are her Angel with Wings from above.
