Sis, I thank God and Peter for the time we had together. The way too few days. Was a time of days long gone, some I remember and some I was too young to remember, the laughs and tears, sleeping together as when I was your baby sister. Oh how I miss you already and will until we are together again, God willing.

My Aunt Sis is a treasure in my memories of growing up. I was a “tom boy”. She presented me with the way a woman should be; gracious, intelligent, and attentive. I missed her with the distance between Illinois and California, now I will miss that she is not just a phone call away. I will have to rely on all those memories as I still hold her as an example to live up to.
