My dearest sister, I have missed you for many years and now that you are gone the pain of missing you all this time is more devastating than ever. I am thankful for the time we shared in our younger years. Being pregnant at the same time. Visiting you at KFC while both of us had big bellies are some of my fondest memories. We were both so excited.

Thank you for the little time we had together. I love you. Your big sis.
