My sister was one of the kindest people I have ever known. Throughout our childhood, I never recall any thing she did wrong. She was as close to perfect as anyone could be. I miss talking to her and sharing our most private feelings and thoughts. I find her absence to be difficult, yet I am glad she doesn't have to see the turmoil in which we find in the world today. I will never stop missing her presence. She loved her family and sacrificed everything for them. A wonderful mother, wife and sister. She was a good example of what a person can be at their best. I shall always miss her.
