Dana Kalayjian

What can be said about Greg. Well he's my brother. And even though we're distant I still love them for my heart.

Yes I am still alive and I'm out here killing it and enjoying life in Missouri. I am a born and raised Californian. I have been enjoying the last three and a half years in Missouri. I am a born again Christian who loves the Lord with all her heart. 🩷

My mother was my best friend, my compliment, and my pain in my rear. She always took pride and how she looked. Always a very manicured, stylish, and adventurous. She loved her children dearly. She was my everything and I miss her so very much. 🩷
