My Dear Sister, Kathy
You will truly be missed. I will miss our calls our conversations the laughter and occasional advice that was truly appreciated even through all your pain and struggles. You always had a kind word to offer up to help me put things in perspective. You are more than just a sister to me. This is hard and I´m very sad, but I´m also happy that you´re now no longer have any pain. I was also told that there are no tears in heaven. Ohh how happy it will be for you. I hope you knew how much I loved you. Kathy, as you closed your eyes to this earthly home rest in peace. The love and memory of you will forever be a blessing to me...
