Honey was my cousin, my best friend ever. Our lives have been so intertwined since the day I was born, that it is almost impossible to fathom this world without her. I learned so much from her about selfless love and kindness. Nobody could make me laugh like Honey; nobody could be a closer confidante than her. I absolutely adored her. I will carry her joie de vivre, strength, devotion and love close to my heart forever. Rest in peace, beloved Honey.

Her heart was always in the right place and she was a shining inspiration to all who knew her. I've never laughed so hard or loved more than when we were together. She was a genuine beacon of goodness and we will cherish our precious memories of her forever. RIP my lifelong friend.
