&
was
ALWAYS
...noticed when she walked in a room...

she
.. smelled good...
all the time!

* i think it was it was guerlain or chloe *

...she was always remembered ..
couple weeks ago a boy i know from elementary school
said he remember her tieing his shoe
for him...
i love that he remembers she took time to do that
&
...it left a sweet impression on him...

make
ANYTHING!!

*i think i may like this best*
nothing like a beautiful woman
not afraid to have
