To my beautiful sister, I hope you are at peace with God, our parents and our brother, family and friends. And most of all the angels, I know you loved talking about how much you loved angels. Now you are a beautiful angel yourself now. I hope it’s beautiful up there in heaven. I know you’re out of pain now. Ross and I will miss you more than words can ever say. And thanks again for praying for Sam to be healthy… he ran up the steps the other day and I know that was because of your prayers.. love you to the moon and back Sis…
