Not sure what to say?

Every day without you is pain.

Lish,. Everyday without you gets harder. I need you so . I am so alone. I never, ever, imagined that you would die. Your my baby sister. I will never recover. I still in denial and cannot even accept that you will never come back. I know, Now, That you are in Heaven. I found out all the wonderful things you did for people, that you never told anyone about. I had no idea you volunteered at the jail once a week on your day off from work, to give the female prisoners haircuts and makeup...

I did not mention Elycia's beloved nephew Brendan Spangenberg in my grief. He loved his aunt with all his heart.

Lish,
Its 2020. Where are you. I wish I knew. I dont know if I will ever see you again. I didnt get to say goodbye. Time is only deepening this aching void, that is always there. Life without you, is not life.

Sleep well beautiful girl. I will miss you with every breath I take. Love Mom

Dear Lish,
Each day that passes the ache of missing you and sadness that I couldnt say goodbye, just eat away at me. The fact that I didnt know you were sick, or that sick, the fact that you just died, and I cant turn back time. I cant say I love you or ask your forgiveness. I cant tell you how wonderful of a person you were and that I, and I alone know how hard your life was.
I know you had some extremely traumatic things happen to you, and you not only survived those horrific...

Kiss Kiss, I miss you so much Sis!

I love you forever. I miss you forever.
