Hey you? I found out about this memorial through a friend! Gee Aggie for sure you now own water front property. Every time we hear your song "IT"S A BEAUTIFUL MORNING" we cry. I know I promised you I would say The Rosary every day and I was faithful to your wishes for a long time then I just couldn't bring myself to do any more. When you told me to watch my Mother because you knew she wouldn't be able to handle it! Well, Auntie/Uncle Aggie she has fallen apart. I worrie about her and Aunt Libby too. I know your not here in our presents to see. However, I do know you know because ma told me she had a dream and you whispered in her ear "Dyan" you loved to live" Start living! She has had panic attacks since you've been gone and three open heart surgeries. I can't help her any more but I cry every night. Why, because I know what it feel's like to lose a mother. I see your children my own cousin's that I have grew up with not here with us any more. As for Ma your "Dianna" is now a lost soul. Aunt Libby is a lost soul. Aunty you loved life you playing drums and ma singing you two had a kick butt band. Us children loved you. When we found out later that you went the other way. Us kids respected your decision as to how you wanted to live your life. You never flaunted that in front of us. Now they (GAY) men and women are trying to get a law passed so they can get married and have same rights as us men and women who are married. You know Aunty after you died it broke all our hearts. To think that all you asked is that we keep your house and not to let your EX.ANNA get it. Well, even though you had these wishes in writing and notorized guess what? You got it. Even though those were your wishes as soon as Annie heard you past by the way was through the News Papers. There she was throwing your sister's off your property. Poor Aunt Libby and ma, I forget how many hours they had to get off the property. I mean how could she (ANNIE) do this to you! They ma and Auntie Libby have kept fighting with the courts and the letter that was notirize well they could care less. Annie and her husband are in your home and she left you for this man way before you passed. I know you always say what goes around comes around in a matter of time. Please Aunty send some guidence. I feel that gays should have rights as to how they want there Last Will and Testament should be honored. To think the police came to your home with that EX. of your's and ma and aunt Lib was told if they didn't get off your property they would use force. I can't believe that you had your surgery for brain cancer and I had my pancreaus cut in half from cancer we both laid in bed together and I never thought I still be here and you gone. Soon after you passed poor Uncle Babe died yeah cancer. But, who knows he could be with you. I tell ma every day that I am not afraid of death any more. I saw that light when the priest was giving me my last rights and it was warm it was if it new me. I kept looking at the light and I could feel ma rubbing my feet and seeing the purple scarf on my priest neck. I know it has a name that scarf and your going to be mad but at this time I can't remember it. Anyway, a women from the light told me her name was Elizabeth and I could call her Lilly for short. I kept looking at this light and she said you are going to be ok it is not your time so go to sleep you'll wake up. I asked her a question, I said Lilly, I always heard of this light yet never believe it (UNTIL NOW) it is so pretty and it is so warm. Lilly, smiled and said yes you feel any pain and before I could say no she said no you can't because of this Mighty light. I asked if it would come for me when it is my time. She said of course silly. But I never saw her face. Nope, just heard her voice through that light. So, when Ginza our dog had her puppies she had 6 boys all in a roll and the 7th puppie was a girl "YUP" I named her after my guidian angel LILLY. Well, Aunty can you beleive this a Indian saw Lilly and touched her and told me and Derek that Lilly was speacial and I said yes she is she is named after my guidian angel. He says no my dear there something strong that I feel between you and her. I blew it off as yeah I spoil her and let her watch TV and she loved Animal Planet and one more thing she swim laps too. Well, Aunty it was awful Lilly woke up three months after her second birthday bleeding every where. I bring her to Dr. Mack's now remember Dr. Mack knows the whole storie himself about Lilly and the light and how large my tumor was and that I named her after my guidian Angel long before Lilly past. He did every thing he could him and DR. Polar tried to keep her a live. Well, Aunty Dr. Polar did the autopsy and guess what yes they found poison in her bodie but she also had a 5.5 centimeter large tumor in her pancreaus the same mine. Aunty was this my angel truly who saved my life and came to earth with my tumor to be with me? I beleive she was and Dr Mack and Dr.Polar and the family tend to beleive this to be true. Oh Aunty there is not a day that goes by that I don't cry over her. Even my husband Derek. Dr. Mack and Dr. Polar always and still does when we talk about Lilly call her there little girl. So, grief it feels good to talk this off grief is awful. But as the Bible says mourn a birth and rejoice a death. Well, Aunty I have to say I abide by that only because I am still here I guess God has plans for me. What I don't know. I doing another CD "YUP" although I am going on 45 years old I am going to try to get that record contract once again like you told me I belong to be a star and should be. You also said be prepared my life will change. I think I am at the right age know to be a star. I think if I had signed that contratc when I was 22 with Epic Records things wouldn't be in my life that I have now. But, Aunty after being on VH1 coming in 1st place and then to be booted when they found out my age and i wasn't the only on everyone who was in there late 30 going into the 40's was told to hit the road. Well, every one said they new I was going to be the DIVA I put up such a stink becauce on my way out I found a sheet with every ones names on it and I still have it I wanted to go to entertainment tonight with this story that Tommie Montolla as Micheal Jackson said he is a B_L_A_N_K I can not even say it. I spoke with VH1 and I threaten them. Well, Aunty I was on VH1 everyday on there NEW YORK DIVA CONTEST. It was a kicker seeing myself on TV but of course the family was getting tired of my face. They held auditions in a lot of places even LONDON. You were there all the way and I wore Nana's good luck braclet. They didn't know our ages until after we were picked. Then it was cameras rolling, News paper all over me. All kinds of interviews and the biggie you had to fill out a form and it had all kinds of stupid questions. Your birth date SS# also when it asked what would your friend say about you I told them the truth. Many of my friends died of AIDS and those of us who are still here pray for our friends and a cure also I wrote the ones whom aree alive will tell you I am the Diva of VH1. Next day I come in and the rules were changed. You see before we left after filling out that form Aunty they told us no striped or worded shirts what color shirt to wear and dress if you were going to were one why, because all of contestents who made it will be recorded so we also had to pick a song which all us girls did and studied all night and the camera would be rolling. Well, then we all were so happy come in on time guess what Auntie they tell us rules have changed that we all have to sing and be judged again I mean can you image we went through all that the day before and won through thousand of girls. Well, needless to say they have never done this contest again. As for me I am doing my project on my own and show them. Well, Aunty/Uncle Aggie I love and miss you and your words of wisdom. Sorry for venting so but it felt good. Please watch over us mainly Ma and Aunt Libby. See you in heaven how soon I don't know. But, I do know my faith is even stronger after seeing Mel Gibson's Crimes of Passion. I am sure you heard of it. I can not beleive how there was not one dry eye in the whole theather. I am leavung now. I love you. PS. your daughter Stacy bought you a star. Come back to our dreams when you have the time. Love you! oxoxoxoxoxoxoxxooxox
Your Loving Niece,
Kelleighjaye your sister Dyan and your sister Libby,Cookie,Shelly and your children! oxoxoxox
