Where does the time go. It's been a year, and it seems like yesterday. A lot has changed or happened within the year. You are still very much missed by all who knew you. Rest on Sister-in-law until we meet in heaven.

My love and my precious big sister. I thank God so much for your presence in my life. I am so grateful for all the times that you spent explaining God's word to me when I was called by God. You held my hand through so many instances. You watched me grow in God and you were always there. I sincerely miss you but you left a lasting love in my heart and memories that I will always cherish. I was always there for you because I loved you so much and to give back to you was an invaluable joy. I wished I could've been there to hold your hand before you left us but it wasn't so. I can hear you singing 'When I see Jeus face to face' one of your favorite songs. Im thankful that we always let each other know how much we loved each other. I'm broken hearted but all I have to do is look in my marked up bible and see your name by the many scriptures that we studied together and I'll smile. Rest my love rest.

I don't even know where to begin other than to say again that I will truly miss you. You have no more worries or concerns. Your brother, Rick, is really going to miss those daily calls. My condolences to Fred, Sharon, Delores and Tasha. Always know that your mother loved you all dearly. Rest on sister-in-law and friend. You've been a strong soldier in the army of the Lord.
