"You´re my honeybunch, sugarplum,pumpy-umpy-umpkin. You´re my sweetie pie", our cuppycake song.. I miss you so much sissy. Seven years still feels like yesterday, everyday! Forever in our hearts and will never be forgotten. If only I could love you back to life!

Sissy, there is a not a day that has passed by that my heart doesn't still bleed for you. I wish I could wake up from this horrific dream, but I fight to realize this is reality. The time is NOT healing, and I cannot find the strength. I hope you are watching and protecting me on the other side. I need you!

I will always and forever miss you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Your light was needed here on this Earth. You were more than an aunt. You were my best friend. I love you like fresh meat loves salt. XO

Iman's light and youthful spirit will never fade. She's left a positive impression on everyone she has met and I will always remember her strength, kindness and smile. I continue to pray for her mom, dad, siblings and family during this difficult time. I'm a better person for knowing Iman- God bless

Sissy, everyday, I put on this "fake mask" to try and cover up the pain that I endure each and every day of not having you here with me (us). For as long as I shall be on this Earth, I vow to carry on your name forever!
When someone says to me, " I can't even imagine", my heart skips a beat.
The despair and overwhelming sadness that accompanies the death of a sibling is indescribable. It cannot be imagined or explained. It just hurts! I love and miss you soooooo much!

No one will ever understand the unique bond that you and I shared.
No one could ever even come close to compare.
You were everything to me; your radiant smile that could enlighten a world.
Now I have nothing but memories of my favorite girl.
The pain that I feel is like a really bad nightmare.
I'm just waiting to wake from it, in hoping you'd be there.
I am missing you more and more, and I don't know how I will go on.
Iman, my sissy.. I don't have the strength to be strong.
I love you my dear, my first best friend..
Rest easy my love, until the day comes when you and I will be together again.

Extending our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this sweet young lady. Iman spent several months working with James, so we have such fond remembrances of her compassion and the desire she had to continue her education. It was a privilege to encourage her, to write recommendations for her and then to hear about her successes. We know your loss is great; we will continue to keep you all in our prayers.

To a beautiful Kennedy Queen, rest well. I feel blessed and honored for the chance to see you again after many years this summer at Maria's. It was a beautiful day. I'll never forget the way the sun felt on us as we prayed for peace in your body.
Though we'll miss your presence here, I know you finally have that peace of God that surpasses all understanding.
My condolences and prayers to all who know you and will miss you...always.

My deepest and sincerest apologies goes out to this family! I know firsthand what it feels like to loose someone you love, someone so close, a little sister! I know firsthand what it feels like to loose to cancer. Iman was a very intelligent, passionate, and strong young woman; a beautiful soul! God makes no mistakes and she has gone on to be with the Lord! May He wrap his arms around you all and provide strength, peace, and comfort in the coming days...Rest in Peace Iman!!!

I worked with Iman at CBP and though we didn't know each other very well, I could feel her warm spirit and positive energies. I will forever have fond memories of her and sympathize for the family, friends and all whom share my sentiments.
