Donna, you leave a whole in my heart that only you can fill. This pain will never go away but I sure hope it mellows with time. I cry everytime I turn around. I can't seem to function right now and I hope that goes away soon. I hope you knew I loved you because I loved you more than and longer than anyone on this earth. Sister-Love-Forever.
