Rest in Heavenly Peace Cousin Marti 😭💔 What a shock but also seeing you fighting was a painful thing to witness. This event is Isaiah 57:1-2. “Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.” Only 56 years young...I thank you so very much for being such a good big cousin for real! You live on in my memories as a joyful, grateful and loving soul. You are etched in my core memories of Black girlhood as you were my first consistent hair dresser when I needed a press and curl. You taught me so much as a little girl about beauty and taking care. I can’t remember every conversation in your basement salon but do know that I truly was obviously inspired by you so much when crafting a realized space for BlyssombyShapel
