My dear sister
I will miss your Sunday leftovers and all your baked goods. Who will make me chicken & dumplings now? Who will make me banana pudding for my birthday? I love you and I always will love you and I always knew you loved me. You will always be in my heart and you gave me many things to laugh about. As long as your sisters are alive your memories will never die. See you on the flip side sister.....
your baby sister
