I am sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful big sister and had a gorgeous smile. I didn't get to spend much time with her, but I remember when Carol Lea and I went to Farina for Jason's graduation. It had been a long day & lots of driving. I went to bed while Rosalia & Carol Lea talked. No long after I webt to bed I had leg cramps, so my two big sisters rushed into the bedroom to take care of me and massage out those cramps. Love both of my big sisters.
