My dear sweet big sister Linda,

I knew this day would come, but you were taken from me before I was ready to let you go. I miss you so much already. What will any of us do without you? Who will I turn to for the advice I asked you for almost daily?

My only comfort is knowing that you are at peace and have no more pain.

Rest in Peace my sister and I'll see you in Heaven. Until then you will be in my mind and my heart.

You taught me well. I am a better person because you loved me.

I will always remeber my aunt Linda. She was a great person, which I loved dearly. It will never be the same. No one could ever replace her place in many peoples hearts. She taught me how to set a dinner table properly, and always to use my correct English...I will always remeber her sweet smile. I keep her picture (of her,my brother, and of my self) close to me.

Linda was and is one of the greatest people I know. I have always looked up to her and always will. She was such a part of me. I can never express how I feel, but I do know there will never be a day that I will not think about her. She is loved by so many. It just goes to show you what kind of person she was. Words can't express how much I will miss her. I love her so much. She's been there my whole life. Now a part of me is gone and a part of her will live through me. I love you Linda!
