My sister Jean and I had a close bond. There were many mile between us, but our sisterly love for each other was very close. We would talk almost every day on the phone for hours. We would craft together on the phone. We laugh a lot on the phone and shared many memories together. She will always live in my heart and be loved by me. I am so happy she is with her 3 sons now. I will see you again sweet sister. I know you are dancing and singing with the Angels now as you are surrounded in the warmth of Jesus Christ and His Almighty Love.

Robert and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. She was so gracious and, indeed, a smile always on her face. I remember the day you brought her with you to Palmer's Interiors and we had a chance to visit. You are in our thoughts.
