My wonderful, sweet sister, words cannot express the empty feeling when I think of you. You were the kindest, most loving person I've ever known in my life. Your smile was beautiful, and brighten all our days. When we were down, you made us laugh, and see the bright side. You always had our backs. Still, when something happens, you're the person we want to share it with. And the sadness comes when we remember you're not within reach. We all know, without a doubt, you're our personal guardian angel. And that lightens our heart a little. You're in our thoughts and in our hearts every single day. God has a wonderful, smiling angel next to him. I know that I'll get those endorphins from you when I see you again. When you hugged me, you always said I needed them.
Always in my heart and on my mind.
Your loving little sister.

I have fond memories of over-night stays during my high school years at the Court's house.My favorite late night snack that Mrs.Court's would always fix was Tapioca Pudding.The love she gave will continue to shine in many hearts in the same way the light of distant stars continue to reach the earth long after the star itself is gone.
