What I miss most about my big sister is her smile and crazy laugh. Even when she was rebuking you for acting bad, she would hit you with the chuckle that would make you laugh was well. She also made the best Tea Cookies on earth :). I enjoyed being your internet go to when it was time to order towels for your shop or a drawer for the refrigerator. Loved spending the quality time on the phone with you and staying with you when I traveled home for a visit. I am going to miss you sister.
