In Memory Of My Little Sister Karen

A band of wandering angels came down to earth one day. They saw their sister awaiting and then they all just flew away!There I stood astonished, grief, filled and all upset. Then I saw you waving, smiling and I knew you had no regrets. God gave me a little sister, many moons ago. he sent his angels down here to show me simply this. I was given a little sister, to love, to cherish, to miss!! i wish you all the best love and hope to see you soon. Until the day we meet again I shall always think of you!
