My Walk- My walk was a walk I was stubborn,free, and I did what I wanted to do,with no hurt intended. I laughed, made you want to hold me and not let go, was the apple of my Dad’s eye, and my Moms little helper.I was a sister,who I protected my Brothers and Sisters,they knew to come to me for protection,that was my job, and I am the best cook out of us all!! I was a daughter who was a protector, made you work hard, made you proud, made you cry, made you thank God for an unbelievable daughter. I was a friend, who was there for you and walked with you through all your stories,cried with you, laughed with you and just sat by your side to let you know I’m here.

I’m sorry to hear about the passing of my niece, Realanda. I’m first cousins with Darius (Ted) Rowland, and RoGene and I were in the same grade in school. I didn’t know a lot about the younger nieces & nephews, but I care. I wish I would have gotten to know Realanda better.
Know that I’m thinking of all of you in your time of grief. 💔

To Realanda’s family and loved ones: you probably won’t believe this but even though it was some time ago I do remember Realanda. I saw her play basketball for the Northern Cheyenne High School team at the district tournament back in the 90s. She was actually very good: maybe the best athlete on the team at the time. She could shoot 3-pointers. I was doing the sports for the radio station at the time and I voted for her to make the all-tournament team as I was impressed with her efforts. Needless to say her name rang a bell to me for that reason…and therefore I am sad to see her obituary here even though I did not know her personally. It seems she has quite a large family here – you all have my blessings and condolences on your loss. May she rest in peace.
