MY COUSIN FROM MONTICELLO, THE CUTE LITTLE GIRL THAT I TOOK TO PICNICS. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SUMMER VISITS AS A CHILD. AS SHE GOT OLDER, SHE WAS THE ENVY OF ALL THE LOCAL GIRLS WHEN SHE CAME IN FOR THE SUMMER, AND THE BOYS WENT GA-GA FOR HER.
ONE THING I REMEMBER IS SHE NEVER LIKED WHAT MY MOTHER COOKED, BUT MY MOM WOULD SAY,"THAT'S WHAT WE'RE EATING", SO LAURA WOULD EAT IT ANYWAY, AND LOVED IT.
WHEN SHE WAS VERY YOUNG, MY AUNT AND UNCLE WOULD ALWAYS COME INTO PA TO CELEBRATE LAURA'S BIRTHDAY, AND ME AND MY BROTHER AND SISTER WOULD ALWAYS ANXIOUSLY AWAIT THEIR ARRIVAL. THEIR VISITS WERE ALWAYS JOYFUL TO MY HEART.
THOUGH WE GREW OLDER AND LOST TOUCH, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER LAURA AS MY LITTLE COUSIN AND WILL ALWAYS TREASURE THE MEMORIES OF HER.
COUSIN BILLY
