Cousin, for the Love of You: Although I never got to meet you, as you were gone before I was born. I thank you for your sacrifice. I am grateful to know you through the many memories that you made with our family, that we now hold so dear. You were my brother's namesake. A name that he wore so very proudly. You are buried beside my grandparents an amazing final resting place. You are a HERO not only to our family, but also to this great country that we call home. We are safer and enjoy peaceful freedom because of your sacrifice. I would love to have known you Adell, the cousin my mother so fondly considered her 'brother'. I love you and your memory lives on in the lives and hearts of our family. Your cousin, Turkessa Alston Greene.
