Sis, we met so many decades ago. Had our children, lived our lives and remained family until you took your last breath. Your smile, laughter and commitment to life has left a deep impression on my heart. I didn't get to say goodbye, I didn't get to kiss your face, but I think of you often. I love you sis tell everyone I said hi, until we will meet again. Bye for now and Godspeed... I love you always. ❤
