Shantel,
I’m sad to learn of your grandfathers passing. I know how much he means to you. I’m so glad you were able to graduate Law School before he passed. I know he was a driving force in your education. I’m pretty sure I can speak for him when I say he is Sooo proud of his granddaughter. Not everyone can say with a smile ” My grandbaby graduated from Law School”. Soar in your career and continue to make him proud! You will always have angel looking down on you.
Love Sharee
To the Thompson Family;
I am sending my love and prayers to you all. I am Arfay’s Cousin and Hiawatha has known me my whole life. I absolutely loved him very mellow and such a cool cat. My family and I are going to miss him dearly and we are very thankful for all the memories we shared with him.
