there is now a void in the family with Sis gone. It will never be filled, nor should it be. She often said how proud she was of her brothers, but, I think the pride actually belongs to them because of the kind of sister she was. Miss ya, Sis

I will miss my sister-in-law very much. She was so loving and really looked at me as a sister. We had some wonderful conversations. Her winning smile and infectious laugh will stay in my memory forever.
