A big sincere hug & a kiss to the side of my face was the way Punkin greeted me EVERY TIME we saw each other. Hey Cuzz, what's up? We have laughed, talked, partyed, & cried many times over. I am glad God has given me such a loving family! Punkin shared many deep thoughts of how much she loved her mother and her children dearly and was just waiting for the day that everyone would be on the same loving accord with each other. I understood her because I had the same thoughts for my own situation. The love she had in her heart for all of her family was special. I have so many memories from childhood to adulthood that was given because of her. Like the times our family would come from Sacramento to San Francisco and the kids would go to the Golden Gate Park and have the best time. Or the times as young adults I would ride the Greyhound to San Francisco to visit the my bay area family and Sandra, Jackie, Punkin, Bumpy & I would either ride the muni or a cab to the club! We had so much fun together as family whenever we were together. Punk taught me a lot about life and how to embrace even a bad situation and make it positive. She was a Cancer survivor and a very courageous woman who did well with the hand life dealt her. I am proud to be part of her life. I will always cherish her. I love you cuzz.!!!!
