Throughout those years, Roxanne, Barry, Val, Ricky, Elise, and Mom mom, have become like family to me. This has hit me hard, so I can only begin to fathom what you all must be going through. I wish more than anything that i could be there with you right now, celebrating the life of such an amazing woman. Just know that i love you all, and please, dont hesitate to reach out.
