Dimples, you are a sister to me and Bea. Not by blood, but by heart. . From the time we met in elementry school and you stayed with my family we have been family, sisters. You are the aunt to our children and we are the same to yours. You had nicknames for Chris, Candace, and Monica. You affectionaltely called them Christopherrrrrrr, CandyBandy, and Moni. And my 6 year old grandson, Jayden, will not fully know his "Aunt Dimples" the way our kids did. We spent most of our holidays and every Christmas together. You never forgot any of our birthdays: That's family, my sister. I'm gonna miss your call this week wishing me happy birthday. That call won't come and that saddens me. My mom always said that our home was your home and I am so glad that you took full advantage of that. I am so grateful for what you've always done for my mother and she loved you very much. I can still hear her calling "Dimples" from her upstairs bedroom. She was so glad you were around when we were not home. I know that you are happy and at peace and it makes my heart feel less heavy. I love Brently and Brandy very much. Rest my sister. I love you and I will see you "later".
