I'm on my way to go say Goodbye, even though your soul is already in heaven. I will always remember the good times we had, and what a sweetheart you have always been. Especially you always calling me your little sister. You were the big sister I never had. I have such a void in my heart, but I will see you again one day. Love You MB!!!
