To My Beautiful Sister, Cheryl, I am hurting more than I ever knew hurt could feel. I am talking to you daily about so many different things, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I am so sorry our family could not take the pain and illness away for so many years, we tried with all we had. Some didn't realize how much pain and illness you encountered, but the ones of us that did, tried our hardest. With that; Cheryl felt like she was a burden and didn't pass for herself but...
