My sister was a very sweet and loveable person. She wanted to make everyone happy and as the years went by she wanted everyone to make her happy and she loved to sit on the porch and smoke a cigarette and talk. I loved to get her going and will always remeber the good and bad times. I will surely miss my sister but she will live in my heart forever. Love Sandra
