Lexis, as I knew her, was a well-rounded person. Anything you needed her to be, she was. She was my cousin and my taxi driver whenever I came to town. If she were free, she would always drop me at the airport. I still hear her voice, “Y’all better be ready for 4 am.” By 4 am on the…

An Aunt like you, the most generous. A heart like yours, the purest. A safe place to have a conversation, your ears always there to listen. How could I calculate if I had a dollar every time I needed you? I remember when I would ask Grammy to go out, she would tell me no…
She was an adventurer at heart. Her passion for life was seriously amazing. She’s a risk taker for all the fun things you can think of, and even the ones you wouldn’t. Today was your day, the birthday you didn’t see. We were suppose to be cracking silly jokes and laughing our heads off. I…
