I love you Alice, and still am not wanting this to have happened. I know it was time for God to call you home, but I wanted you here longer, I'm selfish I guess. Your road in life was not an easy one, but I know that you are @peace now. I put our lockets together, with you, I want them with you until we are together again. Proud you are my big Sis.~love
