I know I never told you how much I cared about you. I just want you to know I always saw you as a little sister and it hurts to except the fact that your gone. You were taken way too soon you had plenty of life left and memories to make. You will always be missed by me and its going to weird not seeing you everyday. I hope your in a better place where we can meet again someday and I will always love you.
