I’m not sure what happened to us. We were once so close growing up as brother and sister and then you left this world without me even getting to say goodbye to you. Until I see you again, I will forever remember all of the good things that you did for me in my life. I will forever remember all of the fun times that we had. I will forever remember all of the inside jokes that we shared. I will forever remember all of the hard times that you helped me get through. I will forever remember all of the good things that you did for my children. I really miss you and I will forever remember you. Thank you for being the best sister. I love you Jill.
