To my beautiful sister: I know you are at peace and are happy in heaven with God, with Mom and your son. For those of us left behind, our sorrow is immeasurable. Our life without you is left with this enormous hole in it. To your Daughters: we will always be there for you. Please never feel alone. And Shirl, no matter how faraway you are, I love you with all my heart. Mary C.
