Cousins are our instant friends in life, connected by family, some we know and some we don’t. Although we didn’t live close, Savannah made every effort to get to know us through the means available. Family barbeques, social media were our best connections. I will miss that glowing smile and the show of love for your daughter. Condolences to my family for this loss.
