Your Sister
October 25, 2011
To the honor of my dear "Sissy" Melody. We shared so much over a lifetime. For 13 years it was just the two of us!!!!! No one ever had so much fun as sisters than we did when we were little, jr. high, high school, and she even signed me up to go to Graduate School so I would come home from living at Myrtle Beach. After I got married, she eve came and lived with us. She use to have the best time coming in and waking up baby Jonathan, loving and spoiling him, and then going back down stairs. She told me I had best bring her a nephew home from the hospital and whom would have ever thought I would bring her Three!! We laughed, cried, played, attended class reunions, traveled to foreign countries, attended VBS, sang at church together, went on late night munchie runs, had so much summer fun over the years. I love you my big sister and the love we shared will last forever. I miss you terribly.
Love you Always,
Your Little Sister!

Joanne and Peggy I know how much you loved your niece and I'm so sorry that she had to leave you at such an early age in her life. The only consolation right now may be the knowledge that she won't have to suffer any more and that she is with her Savior. I will remember you both as well as her sons and the rest of her family in my prayers.
