Tanithe Lavecia Colvin

My favorite memory is when we called ourselves washing Big Mama’s car. We were out in the sun, splashing water everywhere, and laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. We started arguing over the hose… I had it, and she wanted it. Well, Tanithe snatched the hose and somehow got stuck on the fence! She managed to get poked by those spikes on the top. Honey, she was crying, and so was I! Big Mama was not sympathetic at all; she called us pitiful, and we couldn’t help but laugh through our tears. I love you, cousin. I am so grateful to have had you in my life! I always thought you’d have a group home full of kids who called you Gigi or something cute like that. You touched so many lives with your beautiful soul and kilowatt smile. The only regret I have now is not telling you these things to your face. I love you to the moon and back, forever. Rest well, cuz, you earned it!
