Memories:
A beautiful soul is never forgotten. I’ll always remember your laugh, our long nights and your attitude, when you didn’t want to be bothered. God gives his toughest battles, to his strongest soldiers and you were one of them. You will always have a special place in my heart. Heaven has truly gained an angel. I love you Nique Nique. -Moco
The perfect sister I was lucky to have, not only because we didn't have any fights but because we spent so many days and nights together, but for some reason it still wasn't enough. I would always come and borrow your socks when I didn't have matching ones, moco would take your shorts because your clothes just were more comfortable. We were definitely the definition of sisterhood and being annoying little sisters. I would choose you as a sister in every lifetime. My Leo sister, I love you more than life as I always said; My J-boop forever.
From your little sis, Halle
I miss Ajeé, Ajeé, Ajeé. I would always say her name 3x. Then watch her ears perk up, a smile come to her face, then some laughter. Wonderful memories.
