To my beautiful, smart, sassy Sister and Best Friend . I want to thank you for shaping me into the woman I am today. We have always been close and through the many years you have taught me so many things. You helped me through heart break, stood by me during some of the hardest and the best times of my life. We have done so many crazy, fantastic things together. And most of all you never took my feelings for granted. You always were there for me. I miss you more than words can say! I will always keep you alive in everything I do. I just want you back and I am so very sad. But I know you would not want your little sister to be overwhelmed in my grief. I’m trying Sis! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS! I know I will see you again someday. Until then my incredible Sister I hope you are having a wonderful time in heaven with our Family and loved ones. Say hi for me!!! Tootles

It doesn’t seem real, I keep thinking it’s all a dream. I love you sis. You are an amazing woman. I’ll see you soon on the other side of that door to Heaven.
