Although I am sad without you and wished that you were here, within my heart your lovely smile still shines bright and clear. I treasure all the memories of growing up you, the secrets we would always share, the childish things we'd do. And as the years passed quickly by, we grew closer still. I love and miss you sister and I always will.

Never judged anyone I can't remember ever seeing you mad, you gave me so many good memories growing up taking me and letting me stay the night with you, conversations with you, I'm gonna miss your hugs and kisses but most of all that beautiful smile you had, you could light up any room in the house, I'm gonna miss your white girl accent lol aunt sandy just know that you meant so much to me even though we didn't spend to much time together as I got older I was always so happy to see your face, I love you and I will forever miss you....
