I was thinking about you today and the first thing I did was look you up to see your beautiful face. Everyone always made fun of me for having a Nanny (babysitter), but you were so much more then that you were my Bestfriend when I needed on as a pre teen into my teen years. As I grew into an adult and didnt make the best choices you were there to send me letters of encouragement and remind me how much you loved me and that everything would work itself out and believe. I wish you could see me now and my Mini me. I love you! Ashley Banguela
