My dear sister and best friend; if you only knew the sadness and void that is in my heart since you are gone. I miss talking, laughing, and crying with you. I have gone through sadness, anger, guilt and depression, but I know that you would want me to move on and be happy again, because you are also happy now. Cancer free, worry free, and resting in the arms of Jesus, what could be any better? I just want you to know that you will always be in my heart for as long as I live. Every time I see a star twinkle, I know it will be you smiling down on me and I will look up and smile back at you! I will see you again when God gets ready for me to come Home. We will be happy there together and never have to say good-bye. So I am now going to say good-bye to you from here on earth. You will always be loved and missed so much. I love you Theresa. Rest in Peace my dear sister.
