Virlena loved doesn't begin to describe how your sister talked about your strength, courage and your all out wonderful personality. Your fight was long and hard and you are loved and missed.
God bless you and your family you're in our thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs your way today and always especially during the Christmas season.
