"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!

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.

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!
