A Fren says
Ivan, Van Jr, Travon , My heart breaks for you boy’s. She stepped into your mother’s place taking on that responsibility to take care of you all. Her nieces and nephews that she raised like her own she always got what was needed and did the best she could as she became that Mom. I envy her she was so fun to be around quite but had that spark of cracking a joke never afraid of being Vanna Banana. I’m sure she was ready to go with Mom and Dad so with that You Boys respect each other be there for one another. Your Sister was a Angel in your lives and all the nephews and nieces she helped raise. She was a Blessing ❤️🙏🏽
