HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATASHA MAYS
Happy Birthday to this special lady, whom I call my Mama, 08-01 belongs to you. Boy you know you can party.
Even though this year is filled with sadness for me because you’re not here physically, and I still don’t believe nor can I wrap my head around it, but the type of person you are, you can go any- where by yourself and turn a crowd out.
So, I know you’re in Heaven making everyone drink, dance, party, laugh, and eating crabs.
It’s not one day I don’t think about you and not one day my heart doesn’t ache for you. But with everything you have taught and shown me will stay with me forever.
So to my best friend, show out today and every other day, ’cause your job was well done.
To the most funniest, prettiest, craziest, sweethearted Leo I know, Happy Birthday, Baby, love you.
From your son, Torik White.
