Hey beautiful, I really wish that I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet and have a blessed and healthy lunch or dinner, with yours truly, also happy belated birthday sweet Taurus, and many many more.
I met Francesca a few years ago when she was in Jacksonville, Florida, at a funk fest I thought she was a really fun, nice person to be around and be with. I didn’t get a chance to take any pictures with her, I didn’t really know who she was at the time and she left Jacksonville and I was just wondering where she was.
I just happened to see her on a blog doing the news for Atlanta and I’m glad she’s doing okay and still into journalism and doing well and I really really like her. I like to say hello to her, and I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to get to know her she really made my day at the funk fest…I thought she was so down-to-earth, dancing just having a good time, one beautiful lady and one that you want to spend your life with you know.
