My sister and I were not close; but we were always there for each other whenever needed. She lived on the West Coast and I lived on the East Coast, so we did not see each other often. She did come to visit when I had my first baby and was truly helpful during that time. She brought her children to Connecticut when they were very young and I have videos to prove it. She was able to travel to many places around the globe as a flight attendant on TWA. I envied her for seeing all those wonderful places. She lived a full life and will be sorely missed. Love you, Sis....
