RIP Little sis! Words can't possibly describe how much I miss you, and how badly I wish I could have taken every ounce of your pain away! God definitely broke the mold when he made you! You are one of the most unique, silly, goofy, beautiful, sincere souls I ever knew! You will always have a very special place in my heart! I love and miss you so much Alicia! But you are no longer suffering and that's a great thing! Please give Erica a big hug and kiss for me! Rock the heavens ladies! Come see me in my dreams
