To My Beloved Sister. You will be missed so much. I Love you with all my heart. It will be so odd not to talk to you everyday. You have no idea how my heart is broken but you did know how much I Loved You. I tried to tell you everyday. At night when we lay down to sleep we would hold each other’s hand and say good night and I Love You. That will be my Prayer every night.
