Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

The Love and bond between sister's is beyond conversation.
We can't wait to grow up, we can't wait until we're legal, we can't wait for those beloved nieces and nephews.
We share our joy, we share our sorrows, our accomplishments and our failures, but never judge.
If one is short for providing, the other goes long.
Maybe weeks go by or even a month, but it doesn't matter because we're sisters, and we are after all only sixteen months apart!
I love you Colleen! I miss you so much all ready!
