You came into my life as a little girl and I watched you grow up with my sister Nina Sakal since you were 8 yrs old. We had good times and bad times along the way but we remained friends through it all. I'm glad to have known you for as long as I did. I loved hanging out with you and Vinny when we got the chance. And the dumb stuff we used to do just makes me laugh. I hope your in a better place in heaven and have the chance to see your dad again. I love you girl! I will miss you and your attitude!
