There is not a day that goes by, that I don´t think of you.
My heart is not as heavy because you have your Crown.
Morning when I drink my coffee, I think of you cause...you starting me drinking it...
We sometimes scheduled our days off work together...
I will Always hold you dear in my Heart...
My Big Sis ... I Luv You
